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

I've never been around one. so I really don't know. Is there an
advantage to using a Mac besides less virus/worms etc?

I'm barely a beginner...will let you know. I do like the ergonomics of
the Apple hardware.

I tried a MAC about five or six years ago, and I just could not get used
to it. But there have been a lot of improvements to the MAC interface
the last few years.

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.

Just goes to show how ignorant I am about computers. Last I knew, Apple
had their own CPU's.

There's a lot less software available for Mac. In my profession, there
just isn't software available to even think about going to Mac.

Yeah, the got rid of MacOS and went to a BSD variant of UNIX.

Rumor has it Mac users are so dumb they don't even know what the word
crash means.
