I hold no particular brief about PC's, use them frequently during travel, with only few problems, mostly due to my mac-user grammar (well, once I was saddled with a box that was described as taken over by Mossad, but who knows?). PC's have known issues, they are the dominant platform, thus attract bad guys. Knowing that going in, one has to armor them before use. Unfair, a recurring but predictable problem.

Ya know, I'm just a simple Windows user here. I have a few "experiences" under my belt, which people on this list have helped me resolve, but never anything too serious. Replies like this are wearying. "Switch to a Mac"??? This woman just gave a brand new computer to her son. There is a problem with it. I really don't think she wrote in to this list to be told "Switch to a Mac". Do you really feel that is helpful advice at this point? If this list is meant only for Mac users, I wish someone would state that so the rest of us can find a different list that may be more helpful.
