It does bother me though that PCs are so often accused of being horrible disasters. <br /> <br />The real problem is that the average user is not qualified to use a computer in the first place. Macs allow very little room to screw things up- good for the average user. <br /> <br />Power users on the other hand have little room to stretch out. A PC in the hands of a pro is a far more flexible tool. There are PCs running XP,2000,Linux,BSD that have longer uptimes than any Mac and let's be honest Macs don't have the same computer power as top end PCs. <br /> <br />Just my tired thoughts.

It always amazes me how much more maintenance is needed on the PCs. The Mac lab will go all year with little or no attention from the tech support people. The PC lab is under constant scrutiny. Interesting.
