48. Buy a Mac & don't worry about viruses and bugs...
I've had Macs for 20 years and never had one problem with viruses. Between work and home I have had up to 5 Macs at one time, but never once did I have a problem with viruses. And my Mac is completely 'condomless' because it has no protection. Macs cost more than PCs, but IMO, they are easier to maintain, they are more intuitive, and they don't get viruses. I used to work with a PC, but found I spent all of my time reinventing the wheel. To install software took up to 30 steps. Installing software on a Mac took one step (insert disc and click on icon (ok, two steps)). The very large company I worked for dumped all their PCs and went to a Mac only environment. Because Macs are so much easier to use and more efficient, the technical support department was reduced from 12 to 3 people.

I still remember my PC working days when I would have to type in 20-30 letter commands just to get it to do something. And if you missed one letter or symbol you had to start over. PCs = Pieces of Crap (IMO) Hell, even Bill Gate's kid reportedly uses a Mac, and when I last heard he wanted an iPhone.
