The build was a bunch of fun because I was able to do it with my kids (my son now can identify computer parts unprompted and asked me what I was doing with a hard drive I just got - he’s 5 BTW).

In the meantime, I just saw this Wall Street Journal article which talks about problems that this journalist had when he switched to a Mac. You Apple fanatics, take heart - the most important part of the video comes in the last 10 seconds.
