I've only owned two computers in my adult life. They both lasted more than six years. I've had to add more RAM to them once or twice so they can keep up with today's Web technology, but after that they're just fine. My experience has been that most issues people have with PCs is that they don't know how to use computers...period. They go to problem Web sites that are filled with malicious code, they download stuff they shouldn't, they click on links in emails that they shouldn't, or they try to game on a computer that doesn't have the memory for it. Macs are just as vulnerable to viruses as PCs...it's just that in the past the virus creators haven't bothered creating versions for Macs because they didn't have a big enough share of the market. As more and more people start buying Macs, you'll see a lot more viruses for them. And as any Mac owner - or company that has Macs - will tell you, once something goes wrong with a Mac, it REALLY GOES WRONG.
