More great mac quality

Haha, you want to talk about great PC quality? Since PCs are actually cobbled together from multiple cheap manufacturers rather than seamlessly integrated like a Mac, you get to experience the fun of those cheap parts breaking down all the time. My first PC was an AST in 1994, and it had nothing but problems. CD-ROM drive stopped working, monitor actually turned yellow, etc. Most recent machine was my parents' eMachine. That piece of crap fried a hard drive and then went through a motherboard replacement, but here's the best part--they didn't quite send the exact model of motherboard, so the chip fan no longer fit snugly on the processor. To keep it on there, we had to fold up a little piece of paper and actually stick it under the side of the fan. That's the quality I've come to expect from the PC world Don't even get me started on Dell and its exploding laptops of doom.

is so crappy that not only do Microsoft developers refer to the Windows codebase as "broken" and "overly complex," but it has a background service known as System Restore to periodically take snapshots of its registry in case it breaks again. I get to use a clean, modern operating system that doesn't need antivirus, antispyware, firewall, and registry cleaner software just to diaper itself from the big, bad world.

Windows--for playing videogames, like The Sims. Macs--for getting real work done.
