That iBook is the same one I just got for my Wife and Daughter to use, so they wouldn’t keep trying to use my iMac.

I have to use a Wintel laptop at work and am constantly troubled with it slowing down, locking up, or blue screening on me. My Macs are up 24/7. We just put them to sleep when not in use. They operate Months at a time. The fact that they are based on UNIX now makes them even more reliable and secure.

And as far as them costing more… well, Kilts cost more than pants you know.
