I don't have to imagine. |

Bought my first Mac (an SE) in 1987, and my last in 2009. |

The '87 SE still works, the 2009 mini no longer does and was a |
| 9 |
buggy piece o' crap all its life. Unusual, yes. I was unlucky. |

I still use a G4 eMac running Tiger for some audio work, you |
| 11 |
can't beat macs for that -- but I can't stand to use one as an |
| 12 |
all-purpose computer. |

If you have to move large amounts of data around Finder is |
| 15 |
horrible. Of course it's fine for lite duty use like moving data |
| 16 |
to your usb stick. |

And Apple Mail will screw you over, refusing to wrap properly or |
| 19 |
suddenly composing in html without telling you and after it's already |
| 20 |
been told text only, etc etc. I've had plenty enough experience using |
| 21 |
a Mac to give an informed opinion and submit rational observations, |
| 22 |
thank you. :) |

Of course, there are *many* conflicting informed opinions, it depends |
| 25 |
on what you do and how you prefer to do it. For some people OS X is |
| 26 |
the bee's knees. |

As for the "low standards" crack, I apologize if you were offended, |
| 29 |
it wasn't meant to be serious. |
