thats the kind of person you look up to.

But did you watch the doc?
Also Joshua, the price you pay for a computer shouldn't be just about the power. It should be a combination of power, ease of use, reliability and especially support. I have used both PC's and Macs and I am just endlessly more productive on my Macs. I was a dedicated PC user before I switched too, so give me a little credit on this.

Me either. I like Apple products so thats why I buy them. I learned something new though: When he was younger he used to go to HP in his spare time to learn how to program one of their newest calculators and learn whatever he could about it. I thought that was cool because when I was a kid I used to go to a Radio Shack after school and learn how to write software for the TRS-80 they had on display. I absolutely *loved* doing it, and that part of the Jobs doc reminded me of that.

Functionally, it was the best laptop I've ever had and it outlasted all the others. I'm on my second one now.

Same here! I built and used PC's forever and stopped in 2008.
Last November I had to add a PC to my office for a special project. I have 2 Mac's and 1 PC. The PC is an Alienware with fast graphics, SSD drives, etc. It's super-fast, but man on man Windows still sucks. While I think the new Windows 10 interface is probably the nicest they've ever done, it's still just so buggy. I've had to revert to previous installations 3 times since I've had it, plus a few of the usual windows crap I'm sure you've heard about already. My Mac's never ever give me grief.
