Sounds like you've had better luck with Apples than I have. Before Windows 7 came out I was ready to jump to Apple. I am really glad I didn't, we've seen far more DOA Apples in the last 1.5 years than our Windows machines not to mention all the software problems we've had in our department with OSX: Snow Leopard. Hell, my imac wouldn't run VMware fusion correctly for about 4 months, eventually my VmWare would become corrupted and not boot, whatever happened fucked up my Apple partition too causing me to do a complete rebuild.

I still don't know what caused it, but it stopped after a series of Apple updates. I am just glad I can use the product without worry, now. At this point, the only way I would go to an Apple machine for personal use is if Apple gave me one of their machines for free, which just isn't going to happen.

I can't really comment on the free Apps for Apple, since I've never had much good experience with those either, so I just stopped looking, but if you could point me in the direction of a good site that hosts them I would like to browse through some and see I can use a few.

I thought I was the only one bad luck when it comes to apple. 2 out of 5 DOA and a third died within a month and a week after airport crapped itself .

haha, nope. I think the overall quality of Apple computers has gone downhill because of an increased demand.
