I have never had a MAC and never wanted one. Years ago, way back in the 80's, I thought that Apple computers were way over priced and the software support even then skimpy. Over the years nothing that Apple computer has done has changed my mind at all. Remember the big format wars of the 80's? Betamax or VHS? Betamax was a better system, smaller and less expensive but it lost it the VHS which is now going the way of Betamax because of DVDs. It's not so much a matter of joining the herd as it accepting that one system is on the fringe and maybe dying out or getting the system that is mainstay.
