My MacBook is only CoreDuo therefore won't run Lion, so iCloud will never sync it with my iMac anyway. PPC programs would work if I had Snow Leopard but I just installed Lion. Grrrrr! Unfortunately Steve Jobs' philosophy died with him and I am quickly falling out of love with Apple.

What I mean by that statement is that under normal operating conditions (the vast majority of the time, excepting the occasional problem) the procedures involved with getting something done in the software are generally simple to invoke, intuitive to find, and the details are hidden by the careful integration across hardware and software, including third party applications. That is something I can NEVER say about my work computer, which is a PC, under ANY operating conditions. Doing stuff sometimes takes multiple apps and is a herky-jerky process with a lot of manual intervention and details. It just doesn't work.

The internal parts of a mac, mabook, etc are all sourced from the same manufacturers as pc parts. Ex... Logic board- Foxconn, hard drive -hitachi, seagate, etc...internal fan-sunon. Of course they will break and will need to be fixed. The difference is the operating system, it is quite good but not excellent. Oh and the price too. It’s all about marketing.

Someone who makes rejoinders using pithy quotes. That's wit. No wait, that's just smug hauteur. Goodness, I always confuse the two. ;) Hey Earl — know what I think its witty?

A fan of a company that is so tight lipped, closed, monopolizes and so full of marketing crap. What I cant understand is when someone says he/she is a APPLE fan.
