Over the years, I've bought more than a two-dozen Macs and PCs for my office. The only word I have for a three-year-old PC is "disposable". I've never had a Dell last longer than three years without havingto replace the hard drive and/or completely reinstall the operating system. I laugh whenver some PC-head tells me how easy it is to swap to a new drive. Just finding a new drive is a daunting experience, as there is such a robust market for spare parts. I can't stand the idea of launching the old and infirm PCs on a charity, so I have to make regular visits to a PC recycling center. I hope Apple gives the PC makers a true run for their money. Parallels is a fantastic program and it runs Windows effortlessly. With my Core Duo iMac I can run both systems simultaneously and have exceptional reliability with both.
