Responding to the following:
 
"Dubious analogy:  don't drive cross-country if you don't know how to
change your oil.  Stay home with your bicycle."
 
That analogy would seem to suggest that the Macintosh isn't as powerful as an
Amiga (that's a laugh). A better analogy would be being able to use a car on a
regular basis to get to where you're going without having to understand
exactly how it works and how to fix it. If you want a car that breaks down
often so you will eventually learn about its innards, go for it. If you want
something that will get you from Point A to Point B reliably, go for that.
