Mind you, I'm a Linux fan totally. Hell, I'll prollay be putting it on this computer pretty soon. This is the argument Linux newbies use. If you believe that because you use a Mac, you're totally wrong. There will come a time that virus writers will start targetting Macs, as well as Linux. Just because you haven't gotten hit yet, doesn't mean that your computer is better then anyone elses.
As to why I personally do not like Macs? All of mine opinions are based off of the older stuff and I know that OSX is a hell of a lot better, but old feelings die hard. Now, when you go tell me to go out and try it, when you send me one, sure I will. I can not afford $800 to go buy a low-end Mac, but i can buy myself a mid-range PC for $300 that I built myself. And buying preassembled? I stopped that after my mother bought a computer that's only been running like shit from when she got it. Now I hold a stigma against any computer that is preassembled. I won't complain about the software because I'm not really attached to any one program but I do love Escape Velocity: Nova
