Quote - I always get asked this question a lot:

Short answer:

I got a bluetooth wireless adapter for an older MAC.  It came with a CD & 3 1/2 pages of instructions on how to install the drivers so that it would work under windows.

MAC instructions:

Plug device into a USB port. 

That was it.

Everything ssgbryan said I agree with pretty much completely. > Quote - is probably why I'll never be able to afford to own a Mac. I'm quite happy with my $899 quad core Gateway.  I'd have to be able to get four times as much done with the Mac, to be able to justify it.

You will..guaranteed. Peng..."Actually, amortization already does that for you. " Exactly. My current mac is 5 years old. It wasn't until just this year I even decided to add ram, taking it from 2.5G to 6.5G. If something DOES happen, my G4 that's about 9 years old will fire up immediately, running the same software I have on this one and I may be a bit slower, but still completely functional. I shop online anyway so ordering things online is no hassle. If I need to go to an actual store..there's Apple stores all over now. Or Fry's. Or CompUSA. A lot of software comes bundled as PC and Mac as well. Times I've reinstalled the OS: 0 Times I've reinstalled ANY software at all: 0 Times I've had to call Apple for service: 0 Times my computer has been down for ANY reason: 0 Number of viruses I've had with NO firewall ever: 0 It runs 24 hours a day, under fairly heavy load about 16 hours a day. My version of normal use is having 2 broswers, FTP, 2-3 200MB+Photoshop files open plus assorted smaller ones, Illustrator, Quark, Email, plus I may be watching a movie as well. That's 5 YEARS folks. Imagine how much downtime a normal PC has in that time. I get annoyed when my computer even THINKS about hesitating for a command, so for me to still be happy with it with no reason to buy another 5 years in is pretty much a testament to the quality. And its not because I can't afford it. I don't NEED it. I get on a PC and I feel like I'm suddenly locked into cube. It's painful. Watching my PC friends have a system meltdown or a virus panic on a regular basis is painful as well. I just have to shake my head. Why would anyone put UP with that nonsense? If your car had a melt down and the engine had to be rebuilt every 3-6 months you'd think it was a lemon. If you had to update 6 things before you could use it every few days/weeks it would make you insane. Why would you accept that from something you use all day long? It's not about being a snob, although I admittedly AM an Apple snob. It's about whether or not YOU are using the computer, or the COMPUTER is using you. How much is your time worth to you?
