Win95 was a *long* time ago. You don't hear many such stories about WinXP, although a lot of folks don't like Vista much (others love it). , and I've had salespeople in stores > that don't even sell Macs, tell me if I'm used > to them, to forget about PCs, that they're nowhere > as easy or user-friendly. If you're used to a PC, a Mac is nowhere as easy or user-friendly.

Good *grief*. Who told you that?? Win98 used to begin to get clogged up after a year or so and benefited from a reinstall, although you could extend that time by cleaning the Registry, deleting TMP files, and defragging on a regular basis. But that doesn't seem to be the case with XP. And "wiping the HD clean every few months"? Sheesh!
