I seem to find on the Wintel side, people are so depressed about their crummy OS that they only consider times when you have to buy a new computer/hard drive/reformat the hard drive to be 'crashes.'
I've been running OS X for a year now, not a single crash. And I'm not going to knock on wood, cause I really don't need to. It's that damn good.
99. As well as your keeping your soul, you keep your data. That's right folks, Mac OS X doesn't have a knack for doing the nasty nasty to your hard drive, and there aren't viruses that do that either.
100. After buying your computer, it gets faster annually on a regular basis (OS X upgrades.)
101. There are over 100 reasons that Macs are better than PC's. No, this is not one of them. Don't ask about 102. We don't know either.
<strong>You mac people got to be kidding! Your top of the line powermac runs at a gig with pc 133memory a 133system bus and cost $3000!! That's right 3grand for hardware thats dated by 3 yrs!

A cpu running at 800mhz with pc 100 memory with a system bus running at 100mhz, at what price? $1800! Thats right ladies and gentlemen i said $1800! You would have to give away a pc with these hardware specs! You certainly couldn't sell it!!! You would have to be an idiot to pay these kind of prices for dated hardware like this! Yet you mac people go out and pay for this kind of junk! And you mac people got the gaul to knock windows for their activation policy! You can't even see that you live in a proprietary world locked in a niche market! You have to pay whatever price apple decides to charge! You have to take whatever dated boards,memory,cpu,case,limited software apple decides to put out! Then ya pay the outrages prices! In case you haven't noticed your all brainwashed!! Ive done something no mac person can ever do ! What you ask? I built my own pc, put the best parts available in it, which will blow the doors off of any mac anytime, anywhere running any software! for half the price of the so called top of the line power mac! Why can i do this and you mac people can't? Because apple controls every aspect of the mac, from software to hardware, never would apple ever let mac people build their own computer! Then apple wouldn't get all the money! That's why apple killed the clones! Apple couldn't compete with them, the clones were building computers that were better and cheaper then apple! What do you do when you can't compete with the clones? Why you pull their licenses! You do away with the competition! But there is good news! Alot of mac people are realizing that apple is nothing but a ripoff! Thats why apple sales are starting to tank! Ahh what the heck they only have a miserable 2% market share anyway!

You re such a dumb***, and you think you know something about computers? HA!!!!!! Dude, there is a little thing called a PowerPc----the mac uses them. Just because they are more efficiant doesn't mean they aren't as powerful as the Intels. Why don't you do some research and find out the truth...the truth is out there, and you may find it disturbing. O, as for the prices, fathom this: Let's see, hmmm...pay 700 dollars for a computer that will last me 2 years, or 1500 for a computer that will last me 5? I dunno, you tell me. Why would you wnat to build a Mac since they are already well built anyways? Well, anyways, I would appreciate if you could just continue sucking upon Bill's tete. Thank you...
P.S. Sorry if I came off too harsh, just making a point .

The power pc is soooo slowwwwww! So slow and so far behind the speed curve that apple is starting to look at alternatives! If your such an apple fan how come you don't know this? It amazes me that you guys believe that gigaflop garbage jobs dishes out!!
I prefer Linux/FreeBSD over Windows, but x-windows feels incomplete and sloppy. Then OS X came along, here is a unix kernel with a sweet GUI and lots of professional grade software like Photoshop, FinalCut 3, etc etc
Speed doesn't mean a thing if you spend most of your time fighting with drivers, cleaning up viruses and doing windows updates with ULAs that say M$ can update the software on your computer without your consent or acknowledgment and that they can't be held responsible for any damage to your files that this causes. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

Re to 100. Windows does run faster than OS X already.
Re 101. This isn't a reason
I'm not raging on OS X, I have a PowerBook on order, but you all seem to be just as Anti-Windows as Windows people are Anti-Mac ... or Linux people are Anti-Windows (ant Anti-Newbie sometimes) for that matter. Fanatics turn off people that want to switch. If someone wants to switch and all you can do is tell them that they are moving over form the darkside , you are making them feel bad about the past. Just say 'good choice, and welcome aboard' not 'you must go to Mac Purgatory for the crime of using windows, one day you might be pure enough to be called a real mac user, until then you apply under the 5/9 law ... you are only 5/9 of a mac user'. I could care less about this since I'm used to elitests through dealing with linux, where it's not enough just to chose linux, you have to use a certain distro too or else someone will tell you that you aren't getting the full experience or soemthing.

gives considerably more grief. [european understatement]

You only survived one crash ? What happened on the other nine hundred and ninety nine ? Did you have to reinstall Windows ? Reformat the hard drive ?
