Mac FTW, i have owned plenty of PC's and my Mac (which happens to be my first one as well) is awesome and its about 9 years old and runs like a champ. Out dated yes but it has OSX 10.5.8 and lots of ram and 2 HDs. The learning curve is small, only took me a week or 2 for the basics. OSX kills windows in all ways that i know. No wizards, no viruses, no drivers, they invented user friendly. Also the programs are much more fun and creative and sometimes even witty. Safari is much better than the other net browsers too.
My friends tell me i should be the new Mac guy and replace Justin Long... with another Justin lol, cause my solution to a PC related problem is to buy a Mac.
Also everytime i see the new Windows 7 commercials i laugh because every "new" feature they have, OSX has already had for some time now.
