“Stick with the other 90% of the worlds population and go with the PC.”

Computers have become a commodity. The brand or OS make little difference to most users. They do email, surf the web and occasionally type something.

The only reason to worry about brand is if you have a specific need for a specific program that only runs on a particular machine.

I still prefer to build my own because it’s fun. I usually install Linux and Windows and dual boot to whichever I want at the time.

I’m thinking of creating a Hackintosh, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. I have what I need, just haven’t had the bug to do it.

No, PCs have become a commodity, and that's why the margins are razor thin. Apple has taken a different route.
