I was consolidating files over the network today and just had to take this screenshot. Vista has its drawbacks, but this is crazy. So...
I have a perfectly good Gateway MT6451 notebook computer for sale. $500 takes it. I'm switching to Mac as soon as possible, because I'm simply tired of waiting for things to happen and downloading hacks to make things work. I just want a computer that works as advertised and has more built in that I can use.
I don't mind Apple's non-compatibility with older systems. They did it that way because no one uses them anymore, so why bog the systems down? It's what many people do - like outgrowing clothes. You don't have the same shirts in the closet that you had when you were five, do you? And if so, do you wear them? Exactly.
And the price: the MacBook and iMac will last much longer than the average PC in terms of hardware and software usability, so I don't mind the $2K price tag. I want three new Apple computers: two MacBook Pro laptops, and one new iMac. I could easily squeeze $6K into a powerful new Windows desktop and new monitors, but I'd rather have three working computers for that price. Plus, they run Windows too. It's a no-brainer.
