Marni just got a Mac and she takes these like one-on-one class things at the Mac store, teaching her the ins and outs of the computer and its software. She's loving it.

I've been told by multiple people, though I'm not sure if it's true, that the main reason Macs aren't plagued by viruses like PCs is just that they aren't as popular, numbers wise, and so people don't write viruses for them as often as they do for PCs. Malicious people want to hit as many people as possible with those things, so they target PCs because most people have those versus Macs. Not sure how true it is, but I've been told by several people

As far as PCs, I think HP is going to be the highest quality/most expensive? Pricing will be very similar to Mac's for a comparable product.
