Why are there so many Mac users?
My girlfriend's Macbook is just a pain. It's slow and if you download anything or even open a PDF file it's simply a pain in the arse. I hate the way Safari works. Firefox has helped but still doesn't work like it does on my four PCs. The keyboard...

McIntosh and Brystons: Fair comparison ?
I have 40 years of experience in audio myself but I sure don't know everything. Sorry but you lost me with the Shakti Stones Oracle.
