Love my Macs. I love surfing the web on them, and NOT dealing with teh issues I dealt with on the PC, Viruses etc... Just don't happen on the mac. I'm sure this will change in the future, but now I have been surfing the web, for the last couple years on the mac with ZERO issues. Also, this is without having to run antivirus software suites that, on the PC eat up a lot of the computers processing.
I also like the fact that I can let my wife use the computer, She can sit down and just use it. Same with my Mom, etc. People that are not computer literate, yet on the mac, suddenly, (And I'm talking within a couple hours) they are building personal websites with Video and pictures, running blogs etc.
As for the "POWER" users, that's a no brainer... you can put up to 16 GIG of ram in the mac pro... Twice as much as the PC... (I think server edition does up to 16, but don't you loose other stuff?) PLUS your Unix based on OS X. Meaning you can mirror your servers etc, right on your laptop and run it as a testing server... Sweet. How hard is it to setup a server on your mac?

"MAMP stands for: Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP. With just a few mouse-clicks, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL for Mac OS X!
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on your Mac OS X computer, be it PowerBook or iMac. Like similar packages from the Windows- and Linux-world, MAMP comes free of charge."
Also, Since OS X is Unix based, there is a TON of free software out there...
I kept my PC's around thinking I would need them. I don't, simple as that.
One of the main things I notice around here is all the hating on the MAC comes from people that
1. Have never even owned a Mac. And are talking completely out there ass. 2. Have (Maybe) used and OLDER Mac, not one of the new intel based versions... And are still talking out their ass.
3. Have seen other things people talking out their asses have said at one point or another and want to continue the misinformation while at the same time talking out their own ass. (Like Right Clicking, which OS X DOES HAVE...)
Anyways... go down and buy one. Use it for a couple weeks and then come back and tell us all what you think in your own words.... Many of us have and those resulting words have been good.
