Yep, Mac girl here and have been since 1989. Yes they are more expensive, there's no getting around that. But they are great machines. I did have a problem with my desktop last fall and had to get a new one, but it was 5 years old, so that was pretty good. My first one lasted 10 years and my laptop lasted 7 years and it wasn't broken, it just didn't have enough memory for the new operating systems and I had the max memory in it. So, it didn't break, just got outdated.

Also, I've used a Mac at my school since 1993 and I've never had one break, never ever. We get new ones periodically but they still use the old ones for students and the like. The Macs run like a charm and never get viruses. I did have someone hack my email and send out spam emails from my address, but it wasn't a virus, just someone using my email to advertise their product. All I needed was a stronger password.

Macs are incredibly easy to use, but people who are used to PCs say it takes a while to get used to them. I think Betsi went from a PC to a Mac, so maybe you could ask her about them.
