I think that it does make a difference more & more, especially aol, yahoo, hotmail and some of the other free ones. I work in the world of publishing, specifically classified advertising, and we have a huge amount of fraud attempted with these types of email addresses. Even gmail is beginning to be suspect. I understand that everyone wants an email address that is portable. A service like MobileMe costs less than $10 a month and it's portable and offers other advantages as well.
I've been a Mac user for a long time. Yes, OS X is a little slower in some respects; but when you consider all the saved time from never having to close all your apps and restart the machine every time something decides to crash, the SLIGHT delays are no big deal. AND remember when we say it is a little slow, that doesn't mean that it's terribly slow.. just a little slower than OS 9 in some ways.

You'll never get more women anyway. There's very little to shop for; and women don't want to learn anything; they think they already know it all. :)
