I'm sick of fixing all of the personal PC's of the employees, getting viruses/spyware, Windows getting hosed, et. al. (things that generally don't happen on Mac - yeah, once in awhile you may have to reinstall the OS, but it's not like Windows where you need to do so every 6 months or so or else your PC slows down and/or gets flaky). I keep telling these folks to go Mac, some have, but many look at the price and refuse to pony up (people are cheap). No one thinks about the value of their time, apparently. My Macs, and the equipment here, just works (I never had a Windows laptop that reliabily would sleep/hibernate, it's like Russian roulette, it'll work 9 times out of 10 but that 10th time... *sigh*). Throw in the built in Time Machine backup (makes backup of your data so *easy* and *automatic* that you don't have to think about it)... yeah, it's well worth the extra $ to me.

Anthony, my husband just got a Mac Mini for his work office and he's so pleased!

I am buying the youngest a Mac to take to college. I promise, on my honor, my next laptop will be a Mac. I'm still unresolved about the TV thing. Good grief, the options are confusing and expensive. Maybe I don't need TV. Well, believe it or not I’m still sort of dealing with Scott Berg (long story, I’ve tried to keep you all out of it) so I’m not really sure how it feels yet.

Let me try this a different way so you understand ... you know how happy your life became when you didn't have to deal with Scott Berg? You'll feel the same way when you don't have to deal with Microsoft. (smile) See? Get a Mac
