Whoa!
Are you saying Apple is un-American?
Watch your step there, bro!
OTOH... Steve Jobs was a Syrian of course...

"Cheaper"? Ha! That PC is redundant within a year, while a Mac lasts you 3, 4, 5 years (my mom's is 6 years old and swinging). I.o.w. while you eat through 3 PCs, I putter happily on with my one Mac.
Now which type was the more expensive one to own again?

However, I do surf the web a lot and I use a spreadsheet program to keep track of bills, outside of occasionally editing photos, that's the bulk of my computer use. Is one OS really all that much better than the other for such mundane uses?
Yes, especially for such mundane issues! Since you're not a hardcore gamer or a nerd who likes to screw and tweak hardware and software the Mac is for you, Sciwoman. It'll give you years of reliable use (no BSODs
) and only 116 malwarez versus Windows' 150,000+...You can run every spreadsheet or wordprocessor you like on a Mac, and Macs are of course dream machines for editing graphics (photo and video).
Hey! And if you miss your old Windows... install it on your Mac too! Easy-peasy! And run it alongside and simultaneous, on screen, with OSX (and even Linux) if you like. So your Mac can be 2 machines (even 3) for the price of one!
You can do that on a Windows box too, but only if you're a deep fried nerd...
Now, which one was the more expensive system again?
