    Boy did I shock the Holy Hell out of my friends when I, a die-hard Mac-o-phile, finally broke down and bought a PC for home use.

    My reasoning? Everything I used it for, save one, could be done on both. Word, Excel, Internet surfing, writing computer programs.

    What was the one thing I couldn't do? Why play tons of games, of course. I was sick of waiting a full year for a Mac version to come out, and then only on the very most popular games.

    So I bought the best Internet and game machine there is: A PC. I'm on my second upgrade now. Never looked back.
