Just to make life difficult: No Macs, No Windows... just Linux. :)

Suddenly I hear John Lennon's voice singing, "Imagine there's no Windows... It's easy if you try..."

Now I know I got to go to Orlando just to ask you a ton of questions on how to fix a pc without using a blow torch or sledge hammer.

That's easy, sell it and buy a mac :)

Mac's fail, but in my experience, not as much as pc's. That is the good thing about being able to control the hw your os is going to run on you can get quality items. Granted you can get quality pc stuff too, but there is so much cheap crap that people gravitate toward...

You get what you pay for.

My favorite saying when I work on someone's computer and they don't want to listen to what I recommend, "You can pay me now or pay me later"

No dispute on hardware issues especially drives. The positive about Macs is they all come from the same place where PCs can come from Dell, etc. or Joe Bagga Donuts Computers.

I've been using Macs since the first one was built. One of my jobs was running a corporate demo room for storage systems. In order to show off all the capabilities to different customers we used PC (Dell), Mac and UNIX (Sun) clients. The worst to deal with were always the PCs. It sure would have been nice to have Macs with a Intel CPU and Boot Camp as I could have reduced the client footprint and cut expenses.

We had a customer in from NASA Ames Research. When asked what type of clients they used he replied, "We have the UNIX gods. We have our friends on the Macs. And we have a bunch of morons across the way on PCs." As he managed a annual budget of $150 million I wasn't about to dispute him.

I know nothing! I see nothing!...I have NO idea what you guys are talking about! I am such a tard with computers. I just need someone to teach me to load my digipics from my camera to a photo sharing site so I can send my mommy and daddy some photos of us! :hysteria: I was in college when we did not have computers. We used typewriters and pens and paper, remember that stuff!!! :) I got a LOT to learn, it seems...

no but I do have a drawer full of blank IBM punch cards that I used to use to store and input programs to a room full of computer gear (when I was taking a computer class in High School).
And, yes, I still remember how to read one.
