Mac users, in general, seem to be happy with their choices. Why that upsets a nasty segment of the populace -- who, apparently, equate happiness with homosexuality, etc. -- is beyond me. They'll almost certainly be here on this thread; perhaps someone should ask them to explain the root cause of their maniacal hatred...

Nice generalization to supports your MAC religion. Guess what, I am very happy with the PCs I've owned and I get to build them, too. Build any MACS lately? I know MAC users think they're on the cutting edge but you have to take whatever Apple sells you and like it. How hard is it to upgrade the motherboard on a MAC to extend its life, oh, that's right, you can't, you get to buy a new machine.

I'm glad you're happy with your PCs -- and enjoy futzing around with them.

I used to build my own electronic gear -- and I built a few hot rods, too.

Now, aside from the restoration I'm doing on the Formula "S" Barracuda I ordered set up for road racing in 1965, I buy cars that will make the 22 mile round trip to town on country roads in comfort and with good mileage and reliabilty. IOW, mainly, I choose to be a "car user", nowadays.

As I pointed out to dennisw, the first two words in my comment were, "Mac users" (not "Mac hobbyists")...

"Build any MACS lately?"

A lot of people have. Go take a look at tonymacx86.com for instance.
