> > Apple is consistently rated like #1 in its products and stores So your point about Apple's limited warranty and offering extended coverage isn't any better than PC has no bearing on anything? Ok, great. Moving on. And there are plenty of Consumer Reports "Recommended Buys" for PC etc, and cheaper. As for their products, do you want to throw in the Android format versus the iPhone and the numerous issues with its phones (Consumer Reports can fill you in on that). > You do know that windows generally needs to be reinstalled if you > switch hardware. So what? A lot of the software is pre-installed anyway, and that's not a factor in buying an Apple product? I've known Apple users that had to reinstall applications after a major Apple upgrade. If we limit this to just installing Finale, I mentioned earlier many on the list appear to install upgrades or fixes anyways. *Shrug* > And what fantasy world did you pull this BS about lion being more > restrictive?

I live in the fantasy world where I can buy a computer that's cheaper, runs more software and doesn't box me in. Thanks!
