It has more to do with hours wasted trying to keep the POS running. If
you have done installs of windows, you can see why a mac user will be
very perplexed by a person willing to subject themselves to that
torture. Sort of the head scratch I have with Mistress Jill. WTF gets
into a boy to want to be hung up with tuna hooks on 100# test line?
An OS install for mac takes a few moments and runs. A winblows install
can take all weekend to get it nailed down right.

Mac vs. PC reminds me of the Mopar vs. Chevy war that raged in my
circles
growing up.
As a graphic artist, I have used lots of Macs, but some years ago it
seems
PCs became capable enough to do everything I need to do. So I don't
feel
much loyalty either way. To me, a computer is a tool - I have never
understood the passion.
Well, actually, I may begin to understand when I think of the war in
terms
of cars. I would throw down in defense of Mopars as a kid. I hated
Chevys.
And Fords did not often even enter the conversation. Guess everyone
needs
something to root for. Look at avid sports fans, heck, even young gang
members. We need something that allows us to say, "Hey, this is mine,
this
is who I am, you got a problem with that?"

Used to run VPC on a 9500/200 and it was about as fast as having a
P5/133. Had it hopped up with ram. No OS X version, so no idea if it
runs well on the iMac and what speed. The 6400/G3 400 made it seem
about as fast as a 266 PII under OS 8.6 and 384 ram

And why not run VPC (or equivalent) instead? No dual-booting
involved,
and the PC junk is never in control enough to be able to hammer the
system, only itself. Plenty fast enough for a whole lot of uses.
