I've owned a few different varieties, as has my son, but the iPod is, by far, the superior of the ones I've seen. My son has the iPod touch and an 30Gb video iPod and I have one of the little mini clip-on ones. The sound quality, operation, reliability... everything... is better. That said, I probably won't be buying a Mac until the price comes down and/or they are more entrenched in the market. When it comes to music players….

It was bought for me. It works fine - no better or worse than my sansa, which was and is a helleva lot cheaper and without all the DRM garbage. I have never used a Mac. However, in the education field and the subjects in which I teach they are the dominant platform. I need a new laptop and I have looked into the Mac. Two issues I can't get past 1) the price 2) I don't want to learn something new. I still may buy one but, but just like the ipod, I am not yet convinced it will be better or worse than PC.

I don't want to get in a PC vs Apple war, though; I need to try a Mac to see what the fuss is about. Yeah, John, I’ve heard that before, but I’ve had the same experience with PCs.

I still use one mac from '86, and another from '01, a laptop from '02, and a mini from '07, for one purpose or another, and never had to do a repair or fix a virus on any of them.

I still use one mac from ‘86, and another from ‘01, a laptop from ‘02, and a mini from ‘07, for one purpose or another, and never had to do a repair or fix a virus on any of them.

So, what's your story?' When I was in college, the only Mac users I knew, also happened to be gay and were adamant that the Mac was the best thing since sliced bread. I am with Jody, I can't over pay for something just because of the name. I always kid Mac users saying things like, ‘The only Mac users I know are gay.

I heard that Apple's known for their good UI designs, making their products easier to use and manage than most Window counterparts. I’m THIS close to banning Steve. :)
