Just going to stick my two penneth worth in
We always had Macs, going back 12 years we had a performa, then an iMac then a really snazzy one which I cant remember the name of maybe a G4 or something
For some things they are perfect, hardly ever crash etc however, we really struggled getting software and always ended up either paying the earth or finding something in the bargain bins in PC World which were about 5 years out of date
As this was our family computer we felt that our daughter would be held back IT wise as everything at school etc was pc orientated. In fact I remember when we first went on the internet and Argos wasnt MAC compatible which is bizarre. We therefore changed to a pc and havent looked back.
I must admit the styling of Macs are so cool.
