Ok, all you MAC vs. PC people, give a quick watch to these, then let's talk...

Ok, in case you haven't figured it out by now I am NOT a fan of MACs. Here's why. They aren't all that people - yeah, they do have cool colored cases, neato neon designs and are the latest 'trendy' thing to own - but let's face it. The WORLD is run by PCs and SUN products. By the way, SUN Microsystems are the BEST computing devices on the planet.
You see, those really cool videos, music files and graphics that are created so perfectly on the MAC, are transfered to all your friends and stored over the Internet, which is run nearly completely by PCs and UNIX based SUN systems. You see, you really can't run a true 'operating system' on a MAC. There is no programming functionality on a MAC. There is only "emulations" of true operating systems. So in essence you could say that the WORLD is run by computing systems that have true operation/programming systems.
Computers that run complex diagnostics in medical labs - PCs and SUNs
Computers that piolt airplanes and the space program - PCs and SUNs
Banking - PCs and SUNs
Most businesses - PCs
The Internet - Pcs and SUNs
Printing and print shops - ah, you thought you had me... well the art may be created on MACs or Apple products, but the complex printing and compiling is done on PC, SUN or CPM based brains... hmmm... leaving the 'fluffy' stuff to MACs.
You see, back when Jobs and Woz stole the original OS for the apple from Xerox (don't believe me, look it up), I was using a PC and have used them ever since. When I owned the Internet Service Provider (www.keyway.net) we used SUN products and I fell in love with the UNIX operating system because it is darn near bullet proof (they don't get viruses either - I think most truley awful virii are created in UNIX). When I worked for Xerox back when the Internet was called Arpanet (no, Al Gore didn't invent it), we used Apples & MACs to do graphic design work, but had to compile and print these files using PCs and DEC VAXs because the mathmatical computations required to sixel encode images was just not possible on the math-challenged MAC... so...
MACs are great if you are into being trendy are all about the exterior of a product - but I perfer to look at the inside of the computer and admire its brain, much like people. It is whats on the inside that matters anyway - right? After all, you can create graphics and video and music on a PC as well - it just takes a little longer and requires more 'programming' ability to do it - rather than just pushing cool little buttons on the keypad.
So back off the PCs and no one get's hurt - or to quote a friend of mine, "Don't hate the play'a, hate the game".

update: for those interested... the PC has a BSOD (blue screen of death) when the system crashes - sometimes you get a complex dump screen that gives specific details about memory cache errors, etc... the MAC you get this...
This generic message doesn't tell you why your MAC has ceased operation - just that you need to restart it. So MACs are impervious to failure. Now the SUN Microsystems products do not crash - the Kernel sometimes has to 'dump'. But the system keeps on working. The Sun Unix systems are impervious to crashes. Not physical failures - everything is prone to that...

Been on a Mac for about a year now...haven't seen the blue screen once. Ahhhhh...
Perhaps you need your color palette adjusted -blue (one of the primary colors) should be available on a MAC... gosh, I am so sorry for you...
