Okay, spinning wheel I can understand, although it's more of a short coma than death, as Macs almost NEVER crash since OSX was first released. Yes, overpriced. WAY overpriced.

Grey screen of death though? Come on... they don't crash! Oh wait, sometimes they don't do so well when they're running MICROSOFT programs! But GREY SCREEN OF DEATH!? Funny to me 'cause that's taken from the infamous BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH description of what was it, Windows 98? Still borrowed from a PC saying though!

Bottom line is if you're a "gamer", yeah, it's PC all the way. But if you do anything even REMOTELY creative, Mac is the way to go! And if you just surf the 'net, then a cheap-o PC w/good virus protection is the best bet.
