Why anyone would run a Windows Based operating system is beyond me. I
have 4 Apple computers running on OS X in my business and have not had
ANY problems at all for well over a year now. No crashes lock ups or
freezes. Whatever time and money you spent fixing your computer you
could have made the switch. It's the difference between plastic barrels
and wooden barrels. You get what you pay for.
