    Mac Users

    OK -- I am in the market for a new computer and seriously contemplating taking the plunge and buying a Mac.

    From all the Mac users, I want to know the bad points of owning a Mac. I think I am across the good points

    Thanks in advance

    Tim

    Thumbs up

    The only down side I can think of, is they are now owned by Microsoft.
    Had one of them Pepsi type Macs for a while, pretty good little machine. the new ones can only be better. Ask Inc, he seems to know them well.

    Shorty.

    Oops Inc beat me in.

    no, they are the apple car....

    ibm and microshaft were forced by the us government to help keep apple going so there was a viable alternative....

    Silly me, here I was thinking the Landy was "Open Source"

    That is an IT joke.

    Shorty.

    Don't think it can be the Apple car and the Open source car. Mutually exclusive aren't they?

    Well, except for OSX, but I'm guessing they're not sharing code.
