I have been using wintel machines since the first Compaq clone came out and
10MB hard drives were radical.  The machines have been stable and useful for
my needs until the current machine which randomly crashes apparently to some
driver conflict.  So, after removing all my daughters games and just about
everything else on the computer but Microsoft products, PS, and iPod
software, and the drivers for my film scanner and printer the D&*$ thing
still randomly crashes.

So, my next machine will be an intel based Mac despite the pain of switching
licenses for Adobe.  I am really not a good customer to have if the product
proves unreliable.
