Just curious as to why you are a Mac hater(?)
I am not the most computer literate person around, (bought my first box in 2001, a PC), I now have a Mac G4 Powerbook and like it a lot. It took some getting use to, but now I prefer it. I jump between the two effortlessly, however. I guess i don't see such a huge difference between the two format/systems, but the Mac is simpler and does more once you know all of its cool shortcuts. There are a couple things that my PC does easier, though, like the photo editing program that I have.
Just wondering.
