Rick: I ran Windows for 30+ years in industry because it's prevalent business platform (where I worked). I still run Windows but only when I can not do the required task any other way.
I currently run Mac as preferred platform including MacDoppler (easy and the support is great).. MacLoggerDX (premier logging application).
Considering the volumes of emails we see on "can't get this or that to work on {name your application] for Windows," one could easily pay for a new Mac.
Also, you'll hear/discover Macs are expensive. Data: My 2009 MacBookPro still runs great. A $4,000 laptop divided across 11 years of trouble-free use (with no issues) and associating some value to my time (during which I was not doing Windows updates to my Mac), the Mac wins the cost/benefit analysis.

Every now and then I get sick of dealing with Windows updates and particularly the dreaded updates and think about going back to using an Apple computer. I'd be interested in learning how many of you are using Apple computers with Apple software. Let me hear from you please.
