Artist Daniel Martinico took William Shatner's finest moment as an actor and stretched it out into a 15-minute video.
You'll notice the crowd gets quiet after the first few seconds. It draws you in, forces you to pay attention, even if it's just staring at the back and forth eye tics on Shatner's face for a minute at a time. "In that moment everyone responds to it," Martinico says. There's laughing at first, but then people get into the rhythm of it and study the various little muscles as they pull and twitch on Kirk's face. "It's a phenomenal range in just a few seconds."
Here's the first two minutes of the video.

Thanks for continuing with giving me some more tips and views on this. Eventually I'll make a decision. I have to sit and work on a Mac to really see if I like it. Doing this will help me make a final decision since it's a big change for me (I'm sure most of you can relate as fellow Aspies). I just did not get the chance with everything going on in my life. My Dad was hospitalized for a few days due to a heart attack. Thank goodness he's now out of the hospital and getting better.

Definitely do that. You are the one who's gonna use it at the end of the day.

Sounds fun though.
Mac is just crappy hardware with a lousy OS designed for dummies. It sucks without needing M$'s help.

Explain the hardware. If you're saying that it's crappy hardware, well then your PC is just as crappy. It's all the same now. Prior to the Intel switch, PowerPC was an enormous leap ahead of the x86 architecture.
The OS is designed for ease of use. Believe it or not, people actually want to be productive with their computers, not just to have a fancy toy. An OS (and this applies to any OS) that is easy to use and is laid out logically, allows for faster learning and increased productivity. You don't have to get mucked up in the mechanics of how you want to do something, you can just go do it and make it look great.
All platforms appeal to certain groups of people. Not all operating systems are going to be best for all types of users. _________________ -Gil
