Ha! That does not sound very _rational_ to me. Even PC users have
admitted that PC's are _not_ easy to setup, and in comparison to Macs,
they don't even come close. In fact, the friends I know who went the PC
route now let their computers sit their unused simply because they got
tired of dealing with the problems. Why do you think that a PC is easier
to setup? Simpler to use?

Such as? The majority of people at our company use Macs, and do actual
work. Your opinion sounds irrationally weighted, and you haven't provided
anything to backup your opinions. I think you're just too embarassed to
go "Moo!" and admit you have simply gone with the herd rather than truly
making the right choice.
