Mac Mini or iMac?

You will have your MAC for years, and liekly without much of the issues a PC will have.

By definition Mac/Apples are PC's. PC stands for Personal Computer, which encompasses any computer that is of a personal nature. This is a common misnomer perpetuated by those Mac vs PC commercials. Technically you aren't having issues with any PC, you are having issues with the OS; in this case it was probably an older version of Windows. Windows 7 is leaps and bound better than any previous edition; I was skeptical at first, but it is amazing...even my mom who is notorious for "accidentally" installing spyware/viruses hasn't gotten any because of the new security features.

This is true and the term PC and Mac used to irritate me too as it wasn't technically correct, but it is amazing what you get used to!

I now find myself referring to them as PC and Mac even though I know they are both technically personal computers.
