And the truth about Macs comes out...

I've yet to encounter a single problem with my Powerbook since I purchased it back in September.

Have you repaired permissions recently? what aftermarket hardware do you own? external drives, mice etc? you havent installed anything norton or symantic have you?

*shrugs* I used to hate macs too, that hate was because of using them in the 90s when they were shit. Nowdays macs have heaps of software avaliable, run more stable than Windows, have no viruses (BSD for teh win!), and just generally work, OSX is great!

I switched from Windows to Linux to Mac, I was happy with Linux at the time but wanted a mac for Ableton Live. Now i dont tihnk i could switch back, definatly not to Windows!

I use both and considering i know how to look after my pc i dont have any stability issues. I prefere PC probably just because its what im used to but i dont see how either one can be better then the other i find that its mostly just prefrence.

Yes thats true, a windows system well looked after is fine, but one of the things i love about macs is there really isnt much looking after to be done! i'd much rather be playing with live and programming than making sure my virus definitions are up to date, i have the latest security patches, there is adequate spyware protection installed, and my disks are defragmented!
