I'm an honest joe considering the switch (and maybe get some free shit in the mean time ;-)

So help a brotha out and tell me why???

Also.. what do you think be.com is worth?
yep i've been a mac guy since middle school.

well i can't make your mind up for you but apple has always been a pioneer, they made scsi, usb, and firewire. the OS is a no contest win if you ask me, some people say that they choose a MS machine because of the lack of programming on the mac, but all the programs that you need are already installed on the new macs, hell the even have apache preinstalled in the OS if you want to use it as a server. the only true lacking for programming on a mac is the gaming industry and quark (they really fucked up).

if your looking for stability go for a mac, performance go for a mac, but if you hung up on Mhz go for the PC, see for me to explain the Mhz myth you should have a pretty good grip on processor build, but G4 series processors cut or random tasks because of less pipelines and more actual core tasks.

you see with a PC all you buy now is the processor, whats the use in having a new 2.8 Ghz processor if your system bus speed is 166Mhz and your ram is 133Mhz, Macs run cooler and cost less as far as electricity. look at the benchmark tests and see what you get.

just seems more practical to me.

and the domain is worth alot more then i could afford, 2 letters at that, i'd put atleast a 3 mill price tag on it
