. It's more than just a computer "good for graphics" -- it's the whole UI experience that just feels more "cooperative."

That's because the OS was actually carefully designed by HCI (Human Computer Interaction) engineers to account for how the human brain works, and then work with it. Windows was basically a slapped-together shell with little thought of the people who would be using it.

And yet it does everything I want it to. Guess it was just luck that did this.

I guess what most Mac enthusiasts don't realize is that I don't care to have an "experience" with my PC.  I don't want to spend that much time or thought on it.  It's a computer not a sexual partner. I just want to plug it in, do what I want and then turn it off again.  Of course, for some people that does kind of explain their sexual needs, too. =)
