I have had many computers over the years, but about 5 years ago my when my kids were in college, they convinced me to try a Mac. I bought a Mac Air and now doubt I will ever go back to a PC. I have never installed any anti-virus software and have come to treat my mac as an appliance. It just works. I rarely even reboot. It has been by far the most reliable and pleasant computer I have ever owned. And it still looks great. I am a consultant and use this little laptop all day every day. When working at home it often powers 2 large monitors.

Anyway, I finally understand what all those crazy mac people that have worked for me off and on over the years were going on about. I want a new mac but this littler bugger will not die. If you want trouble-free computing, consider a mac. Commercial over.
