how did I not also put that into my argument?

Well let me put it this way...
I have a windows machine.
I will always have a windows macine, and for this reason:

I have many friends that have macs and they all tell me not to get one. Why?

1. They last very few years and then you begin to have massive hardware problems.
2. Once you acquire these problems you will spend hours trying to schedule an appointment with a so called "genius", only so they can tell you that there is nothing that they can do (no matter how small the problem), and tell you that you should fork out another 3000+ dollars, only to repeat the process.

My advice: Stick with windows.

He is most likely referring to upgrading a mac....

First WIndows is $&*$&$** bull shit.
- Try windows vista and see all the bull errors and safety shit.
Mac first of all last longer then a windows, 512 MB ram on mac is faster then 1 GB ram on windows *I tried this* U can open up shit loads of windows without causing 1 lag.

- Mac is simpler *unless ur brain dead* u would realize it is that simple to use.

- Mac is sleeker / more advanced/ looks alot cooler.

- Mac is increasing in stocks then windows / Ipods, Mac Hardware/ OS/ phones ETC

- Mac dosnt break down, unless u are dumb as hell and drop it and not know how to use a comp.

There are 100000000s more reasons i can say right now, but dont have time.

Mac> all. Simple and easy. In my opinion even some of the free OS's they are giving out is better then windows Vista. XP is alright but no way near Mac OS X latest version.

yep i totally agree with all that but my comp has recently started making noises and i am dreading taking it to my local computer store to see if its serious! Thank god for Time machine couldnt live without it!!
