HappyMartin, based on my wife's regular comments and beefs about her Mac, I'd agree with you. Macs aren't "perfect machines" that just do everything well. They do well what they're specifically designed to do, which is great... as long as you don't deviate from what they're specifically designed to do. They may be better at it than PCs, but since the platform is kept relatively more tightly controlled by Apple than Windows by MS, it's no wonder.
I've had much better success avoiding the bleeding edge, waiting until new products become old products and initial prices come down--sometimes into the basement, just before they're discontinued--then taking advantage of all the forums and the discovered fixes and workarounds that one can find on the web.
