I used Macs from the first release until 2001, so I consider myself very credible on this issue. I simply don't understand all the ridiculous propaganda about Macs being bulletproof and PCs being death traps of "bluescreens" and heartbreak. It simply is not the truth, like those silly Mac/PC ads which have no basis in reality. The latest one has Macs bragging about being able to restore themselves to a point before an install. HELLO! Ever hear of System Restore? Only been on PCs for like 6 years or more. Mac propaganda is quite silly. We are far more productive since moving from Macs to PCs, and we are not number crunchers, but creative media producers, from print to video to internet.
OS X wasn't released until 2001, so all your experience would have been with OS 9 and below, and the newest iMac you could have used is a G3. Your comments are based on systems over seven years old. I don't know how you can consider yourself credible on an OS X system with intel processors.
First of all, since you dropped out of Mac use in 2001, you have absolutely no experience with a modern Mac on which to base your opinion. Experience with a 2001 Mac does not make you at all credible... your information is woefully outdated. The Macs you used, OS9 and earlier, have absolutely no relationship to modern OSX Macs. They are not the same operating system; OSX is not even descended from OS9. They share absolutely no code.

BZZZZT! The ad is not bragging about being able to restore themselves to a point before an install... Time Machine isn't intended for that purpose at all and is not at all similar to System Restore. I don't even bother to use it to back up system files. Time Machine is a startlingly easy to use back-up application built into the OS.
Time Machine backs up USER FILES... and allows you to go back sequentially until you find a deleted or damaged file or earlier version of an existing file. It lets you look for it in the GUI in the folder it was in... and you look at previous snapshots of that folder.

Good for you. Maybe you should take a modern Mac for a test drive... you will be surprised.
