People with constant PC problems, Spyware etc.
I'm always puzzled at these kinda comments. I work in IT and the vast majority of people have no problems with Windows or PC's like this. Equally working in IT you end being asked about IT questions from family and friends and there again most people have no problems and run a computer for 3 to 4 yrs with no problems. Crashes are rare tbh. If you are getting riddle with spyware, and having constant crashes you've got to ask what are ye doing. Because thats not normal. Also I find it bit hard to accept tech recommendations from people who struggled to use a PC. No offense intended.
That said Mac's are great. I've used them since the blank and white compact mac's. in the early 1990's. But like others I've always needed to use a PC at the same time. So happy with both. At the moment I'd avoid buying a PC for the techophobes until Windows 7 comes out. Its a vast improvement over Vista. If you don't like Windows, or just like Mac's just buy one. They are great.
