When I discuss which computer to buy to someone, I always point out the good (and bad) in each. I've had lots of people here at the guide dog school inquire about the Mac and how I liked it. I'd then explain what I liked, then would explain that there are good sides to windows machines as well, or even linux machines. By the way, my main reason for quitting the pc was the cost of upgrading Zoomtext to be fully compatible with XP. I knew Zoom at the time couldn't do it all, but was ok with what it did do. I then got to download spoken interface (VoiceOver's predecessor) and I was glad I made the switch. Nice not having to fiddle with AVG every other day as well.
