I've gotten to the point with Microsoft where I am SERIOUSLY considering buying a Mac to try it out. I just like that it's so simple and compact. My computer set up is top notch and is massive while the Macs are a simple mouse, keyboard and monitor where all the components are built into the monitor. I like that!!! I like the lack of clutter. I like the look and I like the feel.....I just don't know anything about them so I'm hesitant, but my curiousity is growing like mad.

MS just irks the hell out of me with all the crap they cause with their stuff. MS thinks they're the end all be all of computers and that ain't so. My sister (who's in IT and very knowledgeable, IMHO) was talking to an MS rep a while back and she said that MS's attitude is that they want to be EVERYWHERE. If they could help you get your laundry done, they want to be involved. I don't like that attitude. Turns me off big time.

Plus....I just find myself wanting to get away from the computer more and more. I feel I spend far too much time in front of one and I'm always having to spend time fixing this or doing that, installing some update or finding some fix. It's getting to be a drag. I want to just turn it on....do what I want to do and turn it the hell off. No fuss.

Not to derail the thread here....but any Mac users out there....could you give me an assessment of why you like them better than PCs? Nevermind the hardware and other stuff....how do you FEEL, FEEL about them?
