Uh ... I dunno about the rest of you, but my wife's Windows machine -  
the one her office insists on her using - crashes, seizes up, or is  
just plain annoying, at least *ten* times more often than my TiBook.

I'd say that definitely makes my TiBook more of a VIABLE alternative  
for general computing!

(I agree, though, that for those few programs which just *have* to  
have Windows, because a Mac alternative does not exist, one truly  
*needs* a Windows machine ... with all its foibles.)


Cheers ;-)
