Had you considered at all that the original poster already had a Mac
hence his question? It was a simple question Steve asked that was
answered days ago without anyone finding it necessary to dredge up tired
arguments.
Don't try and turn a perfectly sensible question into a Mac vs PC debate.
You are quick to advise someone not to get caught up in the BS of the
Mac vs PC debate while foisting your own ignorant understanding of the
subject on this thread. In future think before you type.
The Mac vs PC debate only continues in the heads of little twerps like you.
