Harry, I know some people that are Mac addicts. They wouldn't use any
other system.

Software issues aside .... are there any claims or evidence that Mac
hardware is better ... more reliable .... longer lasting ... etc. than
the typical CPUs and components used in PCs?

I don't see how that could be, as the main ingredients are pretty much
the same quality, and depend more on price. If you buy certified memory,
you are getting something that may be better than uncertified memory.
The drives are the same, the cpu's are the same, the ergonomics are a
lot different.

The CPU's are the same?
Just goes to show how ignorant I am about computers. * Last I knew, Apple
had their own CPU's.

Intel is now making Apple CPUs.

Well, isn't *that* special.

So, what's the difference between a Mac running Windows (I've read that it
can) and a PC running Windows?

Eisboch

Replacement parts cost (no exaggeration) 20 times more than PC parts. Go price a
mac power supply and motherboard. You won't believe what you find.
