There are only two "computers" I deal with that could precipitously kill someone with a non freakish catastrophic failure: the mechanical ventilator and the IV pump. Both of these are so stupidly simple that anyone with some technical inclination could build one from old soup cans and duct tape -- they don't need modern operating systems. That's the way I like it. I wouldn't trust my life to anything with more than 100K lines of code. As a physician, who has actually run life support systems, the answer is no — of course not.

The one thing that strikes me is that windows has changed so little since back then, its still organised like a messy sock draw. I use a mac and I would probably switch over to PC if I developed a crack addiction and had to sell it. If you want a computer that will do everything, you will never be happy. Just get the one that does what you want. Yo, I have been using pc since windows 3.1, and mac since OS9.

To the person who's PC takes 5 minutes to boot up, you may have a problem you need to look at. Mine boots in 30 seconds. As for the Mac and PC debate. Use what works for you. I personally will not use a Mac because everything I need I find in a PC. Everything from my design software to the games I play. I also get to build an awesome system for around $700 from the ground up and the satisfaction I get from doing it myself from the ground up is more than what I'd get from spending $2000 or more on a Mac. For the people that complain about viruses and trojans on PC's, stop downloading from warez sites. You people will never learn.

Also, I work at a computer store and doing non-warranty part replacements for Macs is too expensive. Focusing more on Laptops, the Apple design, from a service prospective sucks, they are extremely labor intensive, and yes, both Mac and PC users drop and spill on their laptops. But Apple doesn't provide accidental warranty coverage, you have to do it through a third-party company safeware, which is expensive (considering the hardware you get for your buck). Dell and HP both provide accidental coverage at a reasonable price and phone support for more than 90 days. On-site service as well. As far as games go, use a PC, and if you think you are gonna play games on a Mac with Boot Camp/Windows, then I hope you have a MacBook Pro, sick iMac, or Mac Pro. Because the hardware isn't that great. Hope this was more intelligent than the majority of these biased, gay bashing remarks from both directions. Macs are nice, but I can be more productive on a PC.
