Come on...thats a buch of nonsense. Mac has as many problems as PCs...in
the old days PCs were beasts and Macs were elegant but these days are
different. I run NT and wouldnt have it any other way. I used to use
macs but they havent done much of anything since the eighties! Yes MS
stole beautiful ideas from mac but I would have too, they were correct
ideas.
Get what you like and dont believe the hype.
