[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 795635, member: 83273"] They use them for two reasons. One, a lot of top-end software is Mac-only. Two, it's trendy. A lot of people actually prefer to spend more simply because they have the money and it makes them feel special. What happened to "it just works"? I'm sorry for you, OP. I had huge permissions problems when I moved from 10.4 to 10.5 as well, bad enough they actually drove me to switch to Windows (among many other things; that was not the primary reason). Seems like you took a leap of faith and Apple wasn't there to catch you. I'd suggest trying out TextEdit (included with OS X). Set it to "wrap to page" (instead of "wrap to window") in the preferences and you'll have a simple but still useful text editor for the time being. It's basically the Apple equivalent of WordPad.
