Once you get used to MacOS, it's hard to consider going back. I just 
like the fact that the computer always performs at the same rate. With 
every PC I've ever owned, it's fast for a while, slows down, speeds up, 
goes back to being fast, freezes, runs slows, goes fast again, etc.. 
With the Mac, there is only one speed: fast.
