[QUOTE="madwolfe, post: 1415507, member: 225048"] I know everyone likes dissing Windows here, and in most cases I agree however Apple essentially uses the same hard drives as Windows computers and, considering you have had experience with hard drive failures in the past, it is just as possible to get a failure on a Mac. I have an interesting comparison lined up here: imagine you just bought a new car, medium - high end and you had the option of buying seat belts which were another 5% of the cost. Now lets say that you don't buy them, you have your eyes set on the latest set of shocks and want to save up for them, and after all, you are a very skilled driver and you have a good car that you think will get you out of all sorts of pickles. Now, my question is: is is worth not spending the extra 5% and having that chance of losing everything? [/QUOTE]
