> Is there a Mac list? I use my iPhone for everything. Perhaps I’ll replace my seldom used windows drudge machine with a Mac.

There sure is! Pinging Swordmaker, who runs that list -- all things Apple, Mac, iPhone, etc. Great stuff.

Unsolicited testimonial:

I use Windows, MacOS, and Linux all day, every day (I'm a system admin / dev-ops engineer at a software company). MacOS is my preferred platform of choice at home, because in my experience it's the most efficient and trouble-free of the three, and while you can get cheaper personal computers, you can't get better ones IMO. I use Linux (Ubuntu) at work because of the more terminal/commandline nature of my work. I have Windows VMs (virtual machines) on both the home and work machines, for doing those few only-runs-on-Windows tasks.

I would certainly encourage you to look into whether a Mac works better for you.

And finally, my standard tongue-in-cheek answer to "What kind of computer should I buy?" is:

"You, like all of us, are going to have issues with your computer.
They're unavoidable, and how you solve them is your choice.
If you want to solve issues with money, get a Mac.
If you want to solve issues with time, run Linux.
If you want an unpredictable hybrid of the two, try Windows."

I hate futzing with computers. I use some sort of computing device daily. But I hate....no loathe, setting things things up or ‘fixing’ things.
