I've probably had 10 Mac's over the past 15 years, both laptops and desktops. I've NEVER had any sort of hardware failure, no viruses, never "freezes" ... just push the start button and away you go.

Yes, there are some software programs that aren't available for Mac. I don't need any of those. If you do, the new Macs will boot in Windoz also.

When I was in between flying jobs, I was an aerospace engineer. We all had both Macs and PC's on our desks (provided by the company). NOBODY EVER USED THE PC's ... enough said.

My 2 button USB mouse works great on my Mac, if you only have the standard 1 button Mac mouse, then just push "control" and click the mouse, it's the same as the "right" button on a 2 button mouse. It's not that tough, I bet Tuck can do it?

I've "heard" that bootlegged software runs better on a Mac ... there seem to be fewer "authentication" issues. Auto updates are automatic.
