What a great statement. I dont think I realized it as much, but my interest in macs was really born out of boredom with windows in the same way someone could get bored of their car after a few years. Im having a blast learning OS X, but there is a sense of disappointment in that it isnt the "perfect" OS that mac fanatics play it out to be. In fact, many simple tasks on the pc side are difficult or unimplemented on the mac (like why the heck can't i cut and paste folders rather than copying them?) It all comes down to the apps you use so for the most part then the OS choice isnt that big a deal.
If mac didnt go intel then i probably wouldve happily stayed with my pc's. But due to parallels and the ability to throw linux/xp/vista on here then its been interesting. But as someone said earlier, my future laptops will be macs and my desktops will be pc because neither are as bad as the fanboys claim.
. My friend who has used Macs for a long time convinced me to give it a try, and I haven't looked back since. Im on my second Mac now (I just got a new iMac), and neither has ever compleatly locked up on me (ok mabye a few times but I can't even remember) I've had my new iMac since Aug, and it hasent froze yet. Very rarely one App will freeze, but you force quit it and continue like nothing happened, as opposed to "Ending Task" on an application in Windows, which more often then not takes the whole OS down with it. So to make long story short, I think the price may be a little high, but I think it's worth it, and don't listen to Shotgun Pete the entire system barely ever freezes unless there is some serious problem somewhere, and as far as Kernal Panics go I've only seen 1 or 2 when I put a USB2 card in my Powermac, that it didn't like.
