It's a little creepy sometimes. I use a G4 where I work. We use a pagination program called Quark. I've used the same program on a PC of similar specs and it worked much, much better on the PC. Very unstable on the Mac plus the Mac version is double the cost of the PC version.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop at home and I love it. I got it just before Christmas at Circuit City for 700 bucks thanks to a pre-Christmas sale and rebates (hint-that's a great time of year to buy a machine whether you're a PC or Mac user).

I think Macs have their strengths. The photo and video editing stuff is great as is the Ipod but you can use one of those with a PC. It's all about what fits your need. If you're a gamer, forget about buying a Mac. If you're using it just for business and surfing the net and you have the money, which is no minor detail to SOME PEOPLE, then a Mac is a pretty good way to go.

Having used both and being pretty dispassionate about the debate, I'm not sure Mac's are really worthy of the fanaticism Apple fans exhibit. But that doesn't mean they're a bad product either.
