A better example would be a guy who walks into a car dealership, sees the Hyundais and Kias, and decides he wants the best model he can buy, and goes to a Porsche dealership.

So, was Ferry Porsche a con man because he built a better car, and people chose to buy it over Kias and Hyundais?

By the way, another benefit of Macs? At this studio we have two Sony Vaios, one Dell, one 15 year old Mac Quadra, one 10 year old Mac 604e, one Mac G4, one Mac G5 duo, one Mac G5 quadra, and out of all those machines the PC’s have needed repairs once every year to two years, and have needed to be cleaned of virii or otherwise scrubbed of malware, whereas ALL the Macs are still running, and have never once had a problem with virii or malware.

We did have a motherboard problem with the liquid-cooled Mac G5 quadra which they repaired under warranty...

In short, Macs just WORK, and in a graphic arts/printing shop environment that’s job number 1.

If my needs are met by a Hyundai or a Toyota pickup truck I'm not going looking at Porches I cannot afford anyway. And if I can afford a Porche I will buy the Toyota instead and invest the difference 

I have never had any bad malware or viruses since 2002. I use Avira antivirus. Few weeks ago I had my one exception. I was attacked by AntiVir Pro spyware that I got from a hip-hop music site and I never go to such sites but I did and got that malware. I had to use malwarebytes scan to remove part of it and had to manually remove two registry items. That is one incident in 7 years which is good enough for me
