Grin away grasshopper. I never said that Mac was better or worse than an Intel based PC. Your the one trying to start something here. So back the truck up and check yourself. What I was trying to share with BG was that his OLD Apple/Mac is going to cause him more problems than it is worth. It is old, and has already cost him more than it is worth just trying to get it up and running properly. So no one bashed on Mac or tried to pick an arguement until you posted up.
In comparison buying a Mac over a PC is just like buying a $500K Lamborgini over a $80K Viper. One can argue all night long about which one is better, but the bottom line is what can you afford. Most are on a strict budget these days due to the state of our economy, and trying to justify the exorbinate cost of a Mac just is a difficult battle to win regardless of what you may think is the better computer. $500 for a PC laptop compared to $1500 for a Mac Air is a no brainer for the average consumer.
In stead of being so defensive about your choices maybe you should try providing a better argument about why you think a Mac is better than a PC, other than "I would not trade for anything". Nobody cares. They both have their pros & cons about them, but the cost for being trendy is not the norm, which is why Apple only has a small share of the computer market. BG was obviously looking for low budget answers to his issue, hence on a budget. PC would be the better way to go.
