I was a devout PC user until I saw the iMAC.  It was just too cool to pass
on and OSX is the best operating system period.  I have had my iMAC for two
years and have never had a problem.  I have found a MAC version for programs
I use regularly such as project management and CAD.  The Microsoft Office
for the MAC blows the PC version out of the water, it is so much better.
And the list is just getting longer for reasons to switch.  Apple is coming
out with it's new version of OSX Tiger and every review places it leaps and
bounds ahead of Windows and Linux.   I doubt they will ever catch up to the
simplicity of use, rock solid platform, and general feel that Apple has
captured.

If you want to use OSX on a PC (Can't imagine that one personally) go to
Google and search Cherry OS.  There you can download information on how to
install and use OSX on a PC and MAC programs as well.  It is somewhat
technical so follow the instructions carefully.  I have seen it used and
couldn't believe how good it worked.

By the way, how many people build Porches in their garages these days?

An APPLE a day will keep the virus away
