I FINALLY bought an Apple MACBOOK in 2010 and will NEVER EVER buy another non Apple ever again. Not one single Virus to date. The non Apple Computers are ridden with Virus’ and what a pain that is to try and clean up and that is including Anti-Virus programs. Forget it. You get what you pay for.
I purchased two iMacs over the course of three years. The first one had so many problems we took a huge loss on it and traded it in at a computer store for used PC. After harrasment by the wife who was sucked in by the commercials showing all the cool stuff you could do with pictures we bought a second. Less the four month later it reformatted itself and deleted all her picts including some of special interest to her. That unit has now been converted into PC with a new hard drive and Windows 7. Its pretty, but it doesn’t like being a real computer. My stepson is an Apple-phile, but even he admits that two of his three iPhones have had problems with connectivity and dropping calls.
So you can have your expensive over-hyped Apple products, I’ll stick with stuff that works.
