PC problems. Are these issues with OSX, too?

[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1397428"] Also, lastmboy, as you pointed out -- Mac owners tend to think in terms of value, which incorporates intangibles like the worth of one's time, whereas PC people (to a fault) tend to think strictly in terms of price. To give you an example: I recently needed to move up to a MacBook Pro for various reasons. I wanted to wait for the next generation, but I couldn't. So I bought a used one (mid-2009) for 500 bucks to tide me over for perhaps a year or so. I swapped the hard drives, and picked right up. I made back the money I spent on that unit in two days, plus I am delighted with the more powerful graphics card, higher RAM than my old machine was capable of, and overall faster performance. Maybe that's possible on the PC, but I've never seen it happen. [/QUOTE]
