Fanboism aside I switched - and most importantly - stayed with OSX because I used to get this thing I like to call the Windows Day of Shame. I'd do one stupid thing on my Windows machine and screw it up royally. I'd install new memory, remove a program, or do a defrag and BONG! the whole thing would go screwy for an entire day. I'd have to install and reinstall XP, handle crashes, and just troubleshoot all day long. I've never had that experience on a Mac. Now, granted I could get a cheat PC and Ubuntu and probably have that same feeling of love and goodness, but why not throw away a few grand on purdy laptop? Feh.

Or not. =) “the Apple line from the 1980s was overpriced and, to my untrained eye, underpowered”
