Funny, but in 12 years of being involved in PC support of varying types, I've seen plenty of unreliable Macs, and plenty of reliable PCs.
Anyway, I'm not turning this into a Mac vs. PC debate. They're both excellent systems, each with their own pluses and minuses. If you want to buy a Mac, buy a Mac.

have one button mouses?
but seriously folks...go to a store...click some mouses...see which one you like better. I'm a big proponent of windows-based PCs because they're 1/3 the cost of a mac that's the same speed. Macs are better for people who don't much about computers and just want it to work right the first time. I hand-picked every single component in my computer over the course of a few months...it works perfectly. If you buy a mac, you don't have to do that...but then you have to pay $300 for crappier ram than I got for $85... Apple makes a mean laptop...but it costs way more than the equivalent PC version.
One of the main reason I like PC's is the ease of upgrading and parts are not that expensive. Macs are good but too expensive IMO
