I agree that most people don't tinker much, especially with their
hardware (PC or Mac). There seem to be more hardware tinkerers in the
PC group. However, I've never had a Mac that I didn't go into to add
something; a higher capacity disk drive, modem, video, faster or
rewriteable CD, memory, etc. Apple's collection of accessible PDF
specifications make this a simple task. The latest Macs are easier than
ever to add components to. I added a second disk drive to my G5 in
about 10 seconds, booted it and formatted it (the disk utility came up
automatically after it booted) in a few more seconds. Adding (and
removing) software has also always been a snap in Mac OS in any version.
Macs are great for tinkering.

I've "Tinkered" with Macs. I've not only upgraded Memory, I've
upgrade hard drives, added internal modems, added Ethernet and other
cards. What I've like with the Mac is you get get the specs so you
know what you need and where it goes. Because a Mac most often
has has more out of the box than a PC, there is less need to "tinker."
That said, I believe that most users (Mac and PC) don't
"Tinker."
