My pops is looking for a new computer, money is no object for him. I've told him to get a Mac but he is dead set against it. He used a Mac in 98 and did not like it, plus he heard about the incompatibility, which I assume is now a moot point. How do I sell him on it?

About your Dell, one of two things is happening:
1) A hardware defect that is seriously messing things up and you're blaming it on the OS. This can happen to any computer from any brand running any operating system. Contact Dell if that is the case.
2) User error. This is probably more likely. Too many people have no idea what they're doing on the computer and blame the computer because that's easier. If that's the case, I'd think twice about being so sure of your recommendation and forcing something against your dad's will.
Your dad using something that he's comfortable with is far far more important than him using something you personally perceive as 'better'
