Why did you answer and pretend you had something to contribute, when clearly you don't? Or, was your intent to show your ignorance and inaccuracy? If that was your intent, well, well done. It's interesting, really. Most "windows people" who dislike mac, do so out of ignorance. And most "mac people" who dislike Windows, do so out of experience. So. Did you want to talk about the problems your relatives had, or do you just want to pretend that they're somehow a valid reason to call an entire computing "not rubust"? Or maybe just drop it.
