Speedy recovery
I had PCs for most of my life. When I started grad school I bought an iBook for it's size/weight and to try Mac out. I instantly fell in love with it's simplicity and intelligent design.
Last year I got a 24" iMac, the display is beautiful, the design is amazing. A simple aluminum body with a stand. I also installed windoze on it to run Autocad.
This year I wanted to get a laptop. I thought I would give a PC a chance again. I purchased a Dell XP. Nice machine with great specs. In fact, specs were much better than my iMac. It had vista sp2 on it. I was really surprised how much MS tried to emulate OSX here. Pretty funny.
After a month of owning it, I returned it. I already was bogged down by spyware and the system was already running slower.
For the same price I purchsed a new Mac Book. I am so glad I returned to the Mac. For anyone who is a die hard PC guy, go handle the new Mac Book. It's a solid piece of aluminum, like the rest of their line, and it works beautifully.
The ONLY reason I see to buy a PC is the price. Otherwise it makes no sense. You can run windows on the Mac, and you get a more consistent machine.
