I've used Mac since the first year, 1984, and prefer it over the PC. I have both here at the house, using PC laptops and one PC tower. MacOS is still the most elegant operating system, though Windows XT Pro is the best version of Windows so far, it's still pretty rough around the edges in comparison. MascOS is just more integrated and smoother in use. Typically, when manipulating digital photos, what will take 5 steps on a PC will take one on a Mac.
Our machines are:
1. Mac Mirror Drive Door G4, dual 1.4mhz processors.
2. HP PC with 3ghz Pentium 4
3. Compaq Evo N800c laptops, of which we've acquired 3 or 4 (one new, several used for spares) with 2.4ghz Pentium 4 processor.
All have maxed out ram, and fairly large hard drives, I'm a believer in having as much of these low cost peripherals as you can buy.
My youngest brother, involved in graphics production professionally, has always had at least one Mac; my other brother and then my sister switched to Mac from PC over the last two years.
Best of luck with your decision.
