 I like Macs, I really do, but I just don't like them as much as the 
 dealers do, and getting one configured the way I want it is just 
 prohibitive/masochistic.   Getting a PC the way I want it is just a 
 matter of plugging the pieces together and installing the software 
 for it, and doesn't really cost much more than an off-the-shelf model 
 except for my time....                Albest,

I have changed out every piece of this PC I have over the years. I just have 
to remember to discard the old pieces that don't work anymore.  Learning to 
plug things in yourself saves on repair fees.  It may take me a little longer 
than a techinician, but I only pay for parts anymore.  What I've heard about 
Macs is that a technician is the only person allowed inside those boxes.  
Instant fees.  Not much flexibility in that.   Nobody I've known who has a 
Mac ever pretties up that interface, which looks often like a windows 3.1 
screen.
