You state that you own Apple hardware. The Intel chip in the iMac will run either Ubuntu or Windoze. I don't what operating system is "pc". My follow-up question would be "why have equipment idle, when it could be productive. At the very least, you could buy a copy of OSX Server, nd use one to run a virus-free network!
That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
See my first response, and reconsider your reply.
A Windows machine costs much less than a Mac. Not an extablished "fact". While true that you may be able to buy a cheaper Windows based computer, you still have to buy more software to do anything. Apple gives you iLife with the box. To say that Apples are more expensive than oranges is not a fair comparison.
I find Mac hardware to be no easier to use than my PC. A mouse, keyboard and a monitor are required for both. The Mac mouse sucks. The keyboard isn't as good (IMO) and the monitor is no better and is attached to the computer so that I can't change it.
Nobody is required to use things they don't like. I use a Logitech wireless mouse with a Macally keyboard, attached to a 13.4" MacBook. I have a mini-dv adapter that runs my 24" ViewSonic monitor. I took things out of the box, plugged them together, and turned them on. I use the little icon on the top of the screen to click between mirrored or separate desktops. The OS automatically adjusts the screens. I understand that Microsoft is catching up in those niceties.
The things you list as complaints are opinions. They are based on your experience. Mine is much different. But, your premise that PC's are better because they are cheaper is a little lame. You like the PC because that is what you know best.
I got over 28 mpg with my '90 TownCar. My '88 420SEL gave me 16-17 mpg, on 93 octane. I sold the Lincoln last year for a grand. I got $4250 for the Benz a month later, with twice the miles...
I still have four other cars to drive, and a big RV in the driveway. I use them all. I have lots of old Macs on my shelf,dating to 1984. They still work, though that 2400 modem is no longer in use...
I live alone with my dog, Spot. I try to keep my life simple. I use Macs because they just work. Your mileage is obviously different. It does seem selfish to keep a computer idle that someone may find quite useful today!
