What I have a problem with is silly people like you saying such nonsense.
Your ridiculous post is frankly, a joke. I HAVE used both machines and in my
opinion Macs are not "superior" machines. Also, I have never had to bring any
machine of mine to a shop to have it worked on and thinking that P

Enough already. The original question had nothing to do with why your life is
miserable with PC's, and everyone should buy a Mac. If you can contribute some first
hand, relevant information about what was asked, fine. If you want to rant and rave
about OS's, take it to an appropriate forum.

Well, I must hand it to the M$ Tech Support (like most, not all, but most
first line support staff) because they don't know diddly - Re-installing
the O/S does not "wipe out everything" that you have on the computer - I've

For me, Macs have two drawbacks, the first a nuisance and the second

1. No function keys - once you learn these with a program that employs
them (e.g., WordPerfect, see below), they are much faster than a mouse.
