You likely had the luxury of setting it up yourself instead of having some dimwit only give you 32mb of space, of which fills quickly with bloated software spewing cache everywhere.

But what you did was make it sound like all macintosh computers out there didn't allow you to connect your mice to your left side, you never said anything about any college.
Quote: "It's the same with Windows, it crashes way less than what some people would think, and when I do get a crash, it's a single program, not the entire windows.
And aside from a badly designed operating system, like I said, they DON'T look good, and the fact that the hardware is locked, when it is supposed to be used as a desktop, is a really bad choice on Apples part.
"
Did I say Windows crashed all the time? No I didn't, I have nothing against Windows and I use it on a regular basis, I know it doesn't crash as much as Apple likes to think it does, as Apple are arrogant bastards at times. And I understand that it is your opinion that the OS in that sake is bad, but you can't start saying that officially the OS is bad, what you're doing is thinking that it's a fact that an OS is bad because you think so, people use Macs, not because they're pretty or better than windows, but because they want to use macs, whether that they want to use them because that it's their opinion that it's better than Windows is besides the point. And yes I use macs on a regular basis not because I think that Windows is the worst OS ever invented or that I praise Steve Jobs like a religion, but because I GOT a mac, I went online one day when I needed a computer, and I stumbled across a macintosh computer that seemed nice, and wow, I got it, what a surprise right?
And I do agree with you that making the iMac completely locked down for the average user to upgrade is a ridiculous choice by Apple, whether it makes it more "simple" or not, although there are ways of opening it up, you just remove the screen and unscrew a few screws and you can pretty much open it, but that's most likely too much hassle for the "average user".
That macs in some peoples eyes "look good" is again, just a matter of opinion, Apple probably tries their best at making the computers that they make look good but it's all down to personal preference, if you think it looks good or not, and besides, people don't use macs because of their looks, that would just be idiotic.
And before anyone thinks anything different, I'm not a fanboy, not even close, the entire "OS War" thing is completely ridiculous since you're basically arguing a matter of personal preference, you use what you think is better to use, and that's really all there is. I use mainly macs, but I also use windows, and I have had no issues what so ever with Windows so far.

It slowed down every week, and after year or two it always got proplem where it could not recover. Last time my screen started flashing and computer was uber slow.. And after i restarted i got blue screen of death.
Thats when i had enoug of reinstalling windows and installed linux (Also when it seems i cant even register any windows with my serial because its used too much... Bah.)

I suppose it's different for different people, as you mention, "my windows" is really only your own computer, people seem to (And I don't mean you on this one, don't think I do, it's just a example since you got me to bring it up by saying "my windows"
) think that because they have some sort of issue with a OS or anything for that matter, everyone else in the world is, and therefor, the product that has you are having the issue with is worthless. And that's just simply arrogant and stupid.
I don't like to argue like this, I tend to stay out of it, especially since it really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the topic, but I just couldn't resist.
