Ah, the power of monopoly. I don't care what anybody says, Bill Gates was slick in the beginning. And his products leave a lot to be desired.

But then, I'm a Mac person....

That much is certain. However all the alternatives leave much to be desired. I regard the bickering as to which is better to be pointless - there are times when a Mac is a better tool for the job, there are times when a PC is better, and times when a Linux / UNIX machine is appropriate. The Operating System Jihad, to use a Dutch expression "laat mij koud".

But then I think about how much my computer means to me. How it let me email my son while he was serving in slick willie's army, how my daughter in another state can check in on us and we can check in on her, how we can do our record keeping for our business, saving untold hours of time, I find it rather ridiculous to complain.
