Not much to say to this other than that I, and most of the rest of the 
thinking world disagree with you.  To each his own.


Yes, I do. Windows is ugly, and it certainly is not perfect. But,having 
used a Macbook now for a few years, I have come to hate it moreand 
more. The 'Finder', for instance, is an abomination.And the ipod (of 
which I own two) is a joke as well. Crappy sound,wildly overpriced, 
that terrible 'click wheel', the fact that it can'tbe usefully operated 
while still in your pocket, etc etc.
