This time you can buy a mac BECUASE the new intel macs allow you to make part of the hard drive a Mac and the other part a PC. Sooooo... when your computer goes nutty as all PCs inevitibly do, you can just switch to the mac side, wipe the PC part of the hard drive and reinstall that wonderfullly flawed program they call Windows. Sweet! Plus, you'll shortly become so amazed by Mac OSX and disenfranchised with the way Windows can't live up to it, that you'll use the buggy, virally infected Windows side less and less. See. The right technology can love you!
