Would I recommend the purchase of a PC? Sure, why not. Simple and efficient.

Same answer both ways. Why? Because, if the user does not know how to use a computer (be it Mac or PC) they will manage to screw things up anyway.

There lies the whole problem. It's not the tool that breaks but rather the one using the tool in a fashion that will break it. It's called 'Error 18' The error is situated 18 inches away from the computer. Learn how to use your computer correctly and all these 'viruses', 'spyware' and what-not will be a thing of the past.

I don't really care what computer I use for my work. BTW, Mac, PC, SGI are all on my work desk and, yes, I use them all for whatever job that needs it. I don't favor any of them. I favor the software that will give me the best results.

Just a thought.
