Re: Can't post long posts...
I have not seen a popup in a while, but then I don't normally go to those sites.....but I do enjoy the content when I do.
I know more people, outside of cyberspace, who have moved to PC's from Mac's than the inverse.
Just like you, I hear lots of complaints about problems like these, but normally they are minor issues that can be cured with a bit of thought or learning the software.
The other major complaint is hardware/software compatibility.
Given that Apple is the only producer of Mac's, I should hope they could turn out a system without issues like this. The fact that everybody produces PC components means these problems are more common, but that PC prices are normally cheaper and parts are easier to come by and more diverse. There are trade-offs on both sides.
I hear people bash Vista constantly, but I have been running it for 2.5 years without a problem. Vista is better than XP as XP was better than 98se, and 98se was to 95, and so on. I take most Microsoft bashing with a grain of salt because I see most complaints as just a lack of understanding....and each new OS brings this problem back to the surface.
You should probably keep your preference for Mac's a secret for now. If they ever become as prevalent as PC's, the viruses, popups, and other outside forces will appear in numbers equal to those on PC's. Obscurity is your ally, for now.
