On the topic of great sci-fi writers, Larry Niven is one that ought to be added to any list. Ringworld was probably my favorite book for at least 6 months, many years ago.
And, I use both a PC and a Mac. I was quite wary of the Mac when it came home to roost, never having used one before. Now, you can barely drag me away from it. It's the security of the Mac that I like. First, I posted a link a while back about the lack of viruses for the Mac so far. I've been lucky that the PC runs W98 and avoided the MSBlast and other similar nasties. A friend who runs XP can't even maintain a connection (lousy dial up service contributes to this) long enough to download the patch, never mind updating virus definitions. Eventually, she'll have to give up and take it somewhere...
Everytime I turn around, someone has a security issue with Windows so when I start working more on the PC again, (which is bound to happen) I'm hoping to move to more secure OS.
