I see...
Thank you for your quick responses, everyone.
Really... After having used Windows for 10 years, such a thing is hard to believe.

I guess not everybody has the same experiences with stuff. When it comes to networks. On the place where I live I have no own phone lines or cable connections. All private computers are connected to a router which gives the internet, and that's all I know about it. So I do not know how a Mac would fit in that. There's a lot I know about computers and programming in general, but I'm a dummy when it comes to the network part of it. A section that never got my full understanding
About the general comments. I've had those problems alot myself in Windows, and heard a lot of people saying that stuff about Windows. It's the first time I hear somebody say that about a Mac. I guess it's not as perfect as people always suggested then.
Of course, I trust that those are really your experiences, and I'll take that into consideration. I still have time before I make a decission.
First I need to figure out how much a Mac costs in the Netherlands, because I don't have a clue about that. And then I've to save up some money I guess, so I still have time before I make the final decission.
I've hopped to the Mac site a few minutes ago. Of course what they say there is only the goods an never the bads, but I was hoping to get some general view.
One thing I'm curious about. I have a portable harddisk I often use as well at home as at work. At work it uses Windows. If I understood it well, it should be no problem if I buy a Mac and keep using that harddisk on as well my work Windows PC and on my Mac. Right?
(It's a 80 gig, USB/Firewire harddisk box, Windows formatted if you need that info for your answer).
Thank you for your quick responses, everyone.
Mac OS X doesn't crash often. In fact I'm working with Mac OS X for about four years now and I don't know what the Mac equivalent is for a Blue screen.
