You will be MUCH better on a mac, Mia. You'll be much more content, too. You may even develop a superiority complex knowing you did the right thing. What do they say? Buy quality; you'll only cry once.

"These are sites that folks use to illegally download programs, videos and music" Not exclusively http://www.publicdomaintorrents.com/ And bitTorrenting is a transfer protocol that takes the load off a server by using distributed dispersion of data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) that said, Yes, it's pretty much the new Napster.

If your SO is visiting porno sites, you really need separate computers, both Macs. FWIW, you can get mirror door G4 Power Macs for under $300.00 most of the time and you will be surprised at how nice the whole experience is. A mirror door Mac looks like this: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/art/dualg4.jpg and they take DVI not VGA monitor connections. Anyway, once you visit a porn site on a windows computer, you had better not ever use a credit card or visit your bank on it.

what is a bittorent site? I assume that you know what kinda problems I have with my surfing habits.... It's really hard to keep from my s.o.

There are no active viruses that affect Macs at this date and the few "trojans" reported were obtained from bittorrent sites and had to be manually installed by the user. Get a mac and you'll be glad you did

Because of the sites that I visit I am constantly getting tons of viruses etc. I have lost alot of work an computers due to that crap. Since I don't want to change my internet habits....will a MAC be better?
