You are very fortunate Yoda.....but then again you shared with us that you have been working with PC's since the non hard drive days.....that has been a number of years I believe and you have no doubt become quite proficient in the windows world.

I believe the average person is not so proficient with windows. Most of the folks I know send e-mail, surf the web, and perhaps put some pictures on their computer. They may download some songs and do a bit of word processing now and then, but not much more then that.

Many of the people I work with fall into the above category. They seem to have to replace their computers after only a few years, or many times take them in to the local shop because they get "slow", or get a virus or something. They experience crashes, etc.

I have not needed apple tech support hardly at all in my 8 years.....but it is nice to know it is there, and I do not have to spend hours on the phone talking to some foreign guy with a fake american name.

I wish I had the computer knowledge that you have gained over the years....I am far from an expert with computers.....I guess that is kind of a testimony for my Mac.....I have not had to learn much...I just use it.

I wish you well my friend.

To answer the original posters question....I suggest to any perspective computer buyer, go to a few stores.....visit the Apple store, Best Buy, etc and pick whatever the best fit is for you, weather it be a Windows PC or a Mac......
