I would consider a Mac if they didn't weld them shut like those iMacs. Talk about
closed source hardware.

Of course for every complaint I make someone will come back with "but you can buy
Macs with a tower case and a separate monitor". That's not the point. The point is
that the majority of them out there are welded shut (if I were to buy a used one for
example).

I'm quite interested in Mac's since they have a Pascal history.

But they sure ruined it with Jobs' colorful Pascal poster and colorful welded shut
iMacs. Otherwise, I would have researched them further. I've also had quite a few
crashes when setting up a Mac for networking, so the "no bugs on Macs" pick-up line
doesn't hold out. I would never ever claim that XYZ computer has less bugs than ABC
computer if I was a marketing company. That's poor marketing and just asking to be
proven wrong.
