I've been building, repairing, maintaining and using PCs for 20 years. I've tried a few Apples/Macs, but really didn't care for 'em. I think the biggest drawback to PCs right now isn't the hardware, it's the software/OS; ie Vista. With Microsoft's monopoly on PC/OS it's hard for the typical user to go with anything else (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Linux et al) unless you're a techie and can understand how to set up and tweak Linux. I haven't played with the Macs in several years, so they may have gotten better since the last time I used one. I don't think I'll make the change-over anytime soon though.
