Nope, no problems with my Mac software. Windows 7 runs great here. I;ve also dropped this Toshiba laptop a couple times, but I am careful with stuff. Oh yeah, I've had a couple kinds of beer spilled in it as well (real beer, and root beer) without incident, other than a couple keys got a little sticky for a while. Fixed. Apple does have pretty good customer service. See below about trendy... $528 shipped to my door, Toshiba, dual core AMD (I prefer of intel) 17" display, etc... basically mid level a year and a half ago. I have a PC running in my closet, serving email that is over 10 years old at the core (motherboard, cpu, ram.) I actually bought some of the parts off ebay about 4 years ago, and added some old parts I had laying around. Never had an issue! We have a machine running windows 95 at the shop, and win 95 was current when it was new. I have to admit, it was having issues a few months ago, but that turned out to be just a bad CPU fan. Macs are trendy. They have to be on top of their game to keep that market. I don't think I really need to say any more than that.
