I can respect that opinion. I have the same feeling. I think some things are definitely platform dependent. There are some things PCs do that Macs can't quite as well, and vice versa. But I have weighed what I need a computer for and a Mac works better for me.
Chaltab, all computers crash. If I were basing my opinion on crashes, I would never touch a PC again in my life. I owned so many of them that crapped out entirely after a really brief period. However, my PowerBook has been with me for just under six years now. I love it. I'm not entirely ruling out a PC. Actually I have seen some PC laptops that I have absolutely loved and have considered buying. But I'm a Mac man at heart.
And, no, it's not a case of "everybody" on these boards loving them. There is just a small group of people that love them and revel when something new is announced. When something new in the PC world is announced, it's not as big a deal because it doesn't universally affect all PC users. However Mac users do get affected because it's one company producing all our computers. Think of it like this, if Dell announced some big new thing, it really wouldn't be that big a deal, right? You may be using Acer, Gateway, or any of thousands of other makers' computers. You may just shrug your shoulders and that would be your right. Mac announcements have been big deals ever since the Power PC chip was announced. Steve Jobs it the king of secrecy and an air of mystery and awe surrounds his announcements (I'm not making this up either). It's like the announcement of the cold fusion reactor in the movie The Saint. Remember how they trumped that up? That's how it is when Mac announces something new.
So we will continue to talk about it. If something big and new in the PC world comes around, I would expect you to do the same if it affected you.
