I enjoyed the Latin sub-thread but can't contribute. In the late 80's and early 90's Macs were definitely much better at things like fonts and turn 'em on and use 'em and I was the only Mac using engineer on a floor of unimaginative engineers who though fonts were a waste of valuable computer memory "it's the content that counts!" and other comments from people who would no doubt would skip the music for 'it's the lyrics that count!'

In those days there were many more Mac owners and Mac viruses were very common. I remember reading a note saying if you were borrowing a lot of shareware and you had a PC, you were 70% likely to have a virus, and if you owned a Mac, you were 100% likely to have one. And I checked, and sure enough, I had one.

Macs have some very nice features, I used a Plus to fake a Russian ID once for which I'll always have a warm feeling for the little square bugger; but Macs also have some character flaws, such as Mr. Jobs determining they didn't need to be sold with floppy drives anymore, cheap bastard. And some of the company policies have made them a lot less fun to buy.

I suppose that Macs come off as having a personality whereas no one suspects such a thing lurks in a PC.
