[Leica] OT Mac vs PC

[nathan at nathanfoto.com (Nathan Wajsman)]

Not wishing to contribute to a religious war, I still want to add my  
data point. I have been using DOS and later Windows since the first  
IBM PC came out in 1980. In the spring of 2006 I bought my first Mac,  
the Powerbook G4 on which I am typing this. In the 1 1/2 year since,  
the Mac has co-existed with a couple of Windows machines at home plus  
the one at work. My Windows computers need to be rebooted at least  
once a day, with the exception of one that is not connected to the  
net, which "only" freezes a couple of times a week. The Mac has not  
needed rebooting since I bought it (except when installing software  
that requires rebooting).

It is this awesome stability, not speed or pretty icons, that have  
converted me to Apple.
