I may be incorrect here, but the research I did before buying the Mac led me to believe that the cost of a top-notch power Mac is very comparable to that of a top-notch PC from Dell, etc... It may be that folks with sufficient knowledge can build their own PCs for less. I haven't built my own for several years, and my knowledge in that department is probably outdated, so I didn't look at that option.

And yes, I still have to do all of the same "securing" of the windows side of my machine - pisses me off - which is why I wish I didn't even have to mess with windows. Maybe someday, but for now I still have to do that to use the PC software. The Mac side remains secure though. The cool thing is, it always works.

Best Regards,

Andrew
