Googar - I do not know why you continually misrepresent things - the idea is to try and help Byron make a decision. I think island may be partly right about the "fanboy" effect for mac users, but I hope this thread will be specific and not degenerate into 2 camps with name-calling. I would like someone to tell me the adv.s of OSX over Win 7 as I don't see it.
jyl - the USB hubs are limited to lower speeds - USB 3.0 will not work on the macs; in addition the
macinista would be offended by all the unsightly cords all over the desktop...
I agree re some PCs (and components) being "real junk" - two machines failed on me in short order, causing me to migrate to the mac (along with the idea that I would get a mac airy type laptop for summer travel/camping use)
also, it isn't really an issue of effing with the Registry being easier on Win 7 vs. macs - it is the attempt to isolate the intermediate user from the file system -- if you like to use subdirs as an organizational aid, the mac makes it harder (at least seemingly so)
Byron - jcommins put the central question really well - what do you need to do on the computer?
also see jyl's lap tops thread if you use them much - I think no one can catch Apple on that front
