I would like to buy a mac so I could sit at starbucks and write screenplays.

Wow. Another Apple vs. Whatever thread, and after all this time, some pure idiots still are hung up because they can't visibly see the right mouse button.

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

You people realize that probably 80%+ of windows machines running in enterprise business and university environments are still running xp? That OS is 8 years old. Its replacement, Vista is already 3 years old. In those ensuing 8 years, processing power has really outstripped mainline performance needs. Dual, triple, quad cores, etc. Why do you think netbooks have taken off? The allow a user to do everything most people do with a PC, with a processor that is only as powerful as some processors that are 4+ years old.

I'm just pointing out that PC reliability is a much bigger issue than perhaps it used to be. I'm still chugging away on the same HP desktop I got issued my first day of work 5 years ago, and I work for a Fortune 500 technology company.
