I've had very good luck with the HP Pavilian series laptops, one Vista,
one Win 7. I suppose now that I said that this one will freeze up and
die. I've had it since 2009 and used it extensively everyday at the
guitar shop until about a year ago when I brought it home. I keep the
Win 7 in reserve and am also getting familiar with the iMac.

Anything an Apple product does better than a Windows based product?
Seems to me the only reason for Apple is the "precious" factor.
I'm a gamer, so I never considered one.

I think the media applications work better and slicker on the Mac
computers than on the Windoze computers. I also think that much of the
software common to both vehicles, such as Firefox, Thunderbird, and many
others, works more robustly on the Macs. The Windoze office suite seems
the same on both vehicles to me, and WORD is just as annoying on Macs as
it is on Windoze machines.

What do you mean by 'robust'. I've run Firefox, IE, and Chrome on this old XP, and find all of them
very 'robust' - if you mean fast.

To me, Macs and the stuff that runs on them are easier to customize, and
the real estate in the OSX directories is easier to find. And there's no
damned Windoze registry.

From what I have seen, there are a zillion more games available for
Windoze machines than Mac machines.

What do you mean by "the real estate in the OSX directories is easier to
find"?

The average user has no routine reason to search for and find
directories in the operating system, Apple or Windows. Do you mean
applications or programs?

You have never lost a file from the infamous Office save function?
