So-called expert switches to Mac

I have a decent respect for those who like Macs better than Windows-based PCs. I also have more than a decent respect for Apple's efforts on Mac OS X, which I believe is a great OS despite the lack of openness and proprietary business model.

HOWEVER, when a so-called expert talks about SIMMs in today's PC hardware, I start to question myself, what the hell is with these people telling everybody to switch, come on!

Yea, but if you read Part 1, you would have seen the author's intent of a far
trial of the Mac product. He had a poor experience with reboots and reported
his findings -- a bad simm.

As if Windows doesn't auto reboot or fail with RAM issues?

With all the PC bias here, I would think we would just outright ban all Mac topics --
At least it would stop the flame wars and be an honest statement of intent --
to discuss and assiste PC users.

I've stated previously that I operate Win/XP, Linux, and Mac OS X 10.3.9
and find all of them have pros/cons.

My signature below is particularly applicable to this subject ----

I think Julio was referring to him meaning SO-DIMM not SIMM:
