I work at an advertising agency part time and use an iBook. I'm personally not the biggest mac fan, I luckily am not having any trouble with my PC in terms of viruses and stuff.
I would just stick to PC's, but hey, no harm in shopping around :http://www.apple.caComment

give Linux a try.
you can get SuSe Linux for about 10 or 15 bucks in a store with an install cd on you can download it free from the web.
With suse linux you can partition your hard drive to be half Microshit and half Linux so you can give it a try and you still have your old Microshit if you need it.
and their are other versions of Linux too.
I went with Linux for the same reason you mentioned - virus horseshit just gets to be too much. Now I like Linux a lot better than Microshit. Hardly ever use Microshit now, just some apps not on Linux or I can't find them.
give it a try, alot more stable than Microshit, and no virus crap.Comment

Awright...
Ya got me there...
I have one comp that surfs shit and is a PC beating bag.
Basically...
It's my catcher if you will.
Some of the shit that goes on in Webpages these days peeps that create the shit outah be hunted down like Saddam and given treatments with no vaseline.
PC or Mac...
Pick your poison really cuz shit flies onto MAC's as well. Its not that the security is more advanced it is simply the fact that it has less development under the hood. That makes it truly more vulnerable when an attack is ensued.

Up until 1.5 years ago, I've never owned a mac, and used PC's for the previous 15 years. Whenever anyone asked me about apple, I would happily state how they sucked. I am a compulsive buyer, and being subject to boredom, a friend talked me into buying a powerbook g4 (tibook), fast forward 1.5 years, i now have tibook, dual-2 g5 with dual cinema screens, ipod, and have bought ipod, and imac's for friends/family. Anyone who says that mac's are "crap", or "crap for anything that's not design work" are wrong. You can do anything on a mac that you can do on a PC, and you can also do anything on a PC that you can do on a mac. There will be some things you will find that work better on one than the other. Personally, I find that 99% of the things that I do work better on the mac than the pc (and this includes, surfing the web, ssh, testing c programs I write for unix, and so on. OSX is based on FreeBSD, and has apple's UI. Basically that translates into, "designed to be simple enough for an idiot to use, yet has the capabilities to keep an advanced user happy." If you're not willing to learn how to do things again, you won't be happy. Everything is different to some degree, some things are very different. If you are willing to learn, you might be a poster-boy switcher at some point.
I bought an iMac for my mother recently, specifically because I got tired of cleaning the computer up every time she got spyware/viruses on there, which was turning into a daily occurance.Comment

Although, that being said... I actually do recommend a mac to people who just know that they'll never get used to a PC. For those people who just know they'll never go beyond the basics of what they need a computer to do... then a Mac is probably the way to go.
That's not to say you couldn't, but most people who have a computer, use it for at most, 5 different functions. Surfing, email, word processing.... what ever. But 5 is usually the limit. And if you find that it is your limit, then a Mac might very well be your best bet.Comment

Such bullshit. I'm running Panther and no program ever does that. Plus, Photoshop runs a lot smooth on a Mac.

With all the mad cow stuff going around right now its just not worth the risks. I hear you on the viruses though.. salmonella is a bitch.
Shit that happens to PC's? oh.. like when you drop a piece of lettuce in the keyboard or something?

You run all that software just so you can use a PC, why ? when a Mac straight out of the box is less prone to getting a virus. I run 10 x G5 dual 2 gigs in my office and we get so much work done its amazing. I dont care if PCs are the fastest or a Mac is the fastest. The fact is my Macs dont crash, if a program crashes the OS is still up and running allowing me to restart the program without re starting the computer, we network all 10 machines and can process images in fractions of a second. Sometimes i have to process 10,000 images which would normally take hours on this set up takes less than 1 hour.Comment

Speaking as someone who takes care of linux boxes for a living, linux isn't ready for the desktop. No matter what the /. crowd says. Buy a mac. You'll love it.
