Why I Own a Mac

In addition to Matt's extravagant sweater admission, Froyd also addressed his preference for PCs on my post regarding Mac OS X Leopard:

"you could save that money and spend it on a computer that is more substance than hype...like, I don't know, a PC?"

I have talked before about why I own a Mac, I believe. As most of you know I was a Gateway Guy at one time.

Some reasons why I made the switch:

• I can do anything I used to do on my Windows based machines as well or better on my Mac.
• My MacBook is sleek, lightweight and super-portable when it needs to be.
• Macs are easy to use.
• Macs play nice with networks.
• The Mac OS is stable and less apt to contract viruses...unlike Vista, which by most accounts is one of Microsoft's bigger messes.
  
• Apple, Inc. supports education
• Mac hardware is built to last, and when it does go down, the customer service and support is strong.
• Yes, Macs do look cool.

And of course, the Mac can act like a Windows based PC if the user so chooses. If that is not substance I don't know what is.
