Although there was a time in the mid 90's when I thought I would never own a computer, now I couldn't imagine living without one. For years I plodded along with a pc, owning a number of Gateway+ HP desk tops and maybe 3 IBM and Lenovo laptops. I remember spending hours trying to get rid of trojan horses and viruses, downloading spyware and anti-virus programs, searching for help, defragmenting, clearing out temporary files, etc. One IBM laptop was even rendered useless after being infected.
Three years ago I bought an iMac. It's been a trouble free three years. Everything is intuitively designed, at least to me. I love it. When it came time to replace my laptop a year ago I went with a Macbook Pro, again, just awesome.
