I don’t have more than a few minutes of experience on a Mac so I basically keep my mouth shut on the Mac versus PC war. I give you the following only for the humor value. It’s not because I have any data to support anything negative said about the Mac.

I am quite familiar with the battery release latch on my G4 laptop, ’cause that’s sometimes the only way to turn the F#$@(&g! thing off!

Mac is very security minded though. I can’t install software update without my (forgotten) system password. So they have that going for them. MS will update any XP machine, the putzes.
