Another common misconception is that Macs are strictly for computer illiterate idiots. That really hasnt been true since OSX. OSX, being BSD based (and officially a certified UNIX), works so naturally and well with just about allopen source software out there. If you do any work with open source software, especially in development, macs are great. I'm really a Linux guy myself, but have been trying Macs on for size for the last couple years. Linux will remain on all my servers of course, but I dont really have much of a reason to switch my desktops back, at all.

If you do any kind of development or work with open source stuff like Apache, php, perl, python, ruby etc etc Mac's make a much better choice than PC, IMHO.
