Yeah. I just got rid of all my PCs, oryoki. Strictly Mac-based, now. 
I don't get viruses over the web and internet. And my computers don't 
seize up every 15 minutes or when I'm in the middle of a complicated 
task. But you'll have to learn to handle the ridicule from friends, 
colleagues and family.
