   For what? For working reliably? As punishment for not being an artsy-fartsy   
   niche product sold by liars?   
      
   I've been running Windows for 20 years, ten of those under W2K. Isn't it   
   amazing how I ever got any work done with all those crashes and   
   configuration problems -- which NEVER occurred, * thank you.   
      
   The Mac is for people who are happy with the limited range of software and   
   hardware available for that machine. I used to recommend the Mac to friends,   
   because the OS is somewhat less daunting for those who are too lazy to be   
   involved with actually understanding how their computers work. But Apple's   
   appallingly dishonest ads forced me to end the recommendations. Both Apple   
   and Microsoft stink as companies, but Microsoft doesn't lie quite so much,   
   and the computers using their OS aren't as expensive.   
      
   * Honesty compels me to admit that about six years ago the operating system   
   "collapsed" for no obvious reason, and had to be reinstalled to be fully   
   operational. A friend with a Mac told me the same thing happened to his Mac.
