Better run down to Best Buy and get me an eMachine before the roof caves in. The poor thing has no Outlook Express or anti-virus software or even a floppy drive.

6. And you don't get to play with fun spyware catcher
programs either.

Not to mention the fun you won't have if your dll files get nmessed up or accidently deleted.

Darn Macs just work. The sacrifices we must make.

:spank:

:rofl:

7. Life is hell living with a Mac
I don't get to have all that fun re-booting, re-installing, fixing stuff, fighting viruses. It gets boring going months at a time just doing normal computer stuff without some major problem to solve.
