    That's a huge a problem that I hear a lot about. I hardly ever hear anyone say "My Mac got a virus!" ... Granted more people own PC's then Mac's. Everyone I know who owns a Mac loves it!!!

    do you have an apple store you can check out? You should get on a Mac and take it for a test drive before committing that kind of money. Mac's aren't for everyone

    There's a Mac store in my local mall. I'm going to it after work. Plus, I've heard killer things about Garage Band. I love recording my guitar licks and So far I'm pretty sold on it.

    Switched our computers at home to 24" imacs last year. My kids play the EA Sport games with no problems and (knock on wood) we have yet to have one issue any of them.

    Our PCs were always giving us problems - hardware compatibility issues, software compatibility issues, driver issues, spyware, viruses, blah, blah. Love the mac.

    Re: iMac's.

    I have been a professional graphic designer for over 15 years now and have worked daily on both platforms. For years I would not play favorites and would recommend systems based on the needs of the individual.

    I can no longer do that. Apple has been too good to me. They run faster over time, more consistent, less problems and you can generally be much more productive on Mac machine.

    At home I have 2 Pc's that run XP that I built myself, and 3 macs. My brand new imac is the best personal computer that I have ever used. HANDS DOWN!

    If you want to have fun with a computer and you want to revive your love for personal computing buy on of the new imacs.

    Ok, now you can grill me!

    Re: iMac's.

    I've used them both, and I always had more problems with the Mac. Or rather, I should say I had equal amounts of issues with both, but I can get a PC fixed a lot cheaper and a lot faster than I can get a Mac fixed. There's not an Apple store anywhere near me and I'm not paying to have it shipped to their HQ and be without a computer for over a month. I agree Macs do have advantages, but not worth the price. My almost-home-built PC finally gave out after almost 4 yrs, and it worked fantastic.

    I'm for sure an "Apple" believer now! This thing is just plain awesome.
