I could care less if it is PC or not — but I’ve not been blown away by the performance of my Mac (which I purchased in 11-08). It crashes 1-3 times a week, the new Safari is slow as molasses, and is a pain in my butt. Sometimes I can pull up a webpage and use all the links and buttons, then 2 hours later when I go back to the same page, everything is active. Firefox loads several times faster and is more stable.
That being said, I do like my Mac, but at this point, it is 50/50 as to whether or not I’d replace it with another Mac
What is your Model and amount of RAM, SoftballMominVA? Crashing 1-3 times a week is definitely atypical for Mac users. Can you isolate what you are doing when the crash occurs. Is it a full system crash (everything locked or kernel panic) or just an application crash? The slowness of Safari is also very atypical. I'm thinking you may have a RAM problem, which is not unheard of.
