The fact that I plugged it in and it just works for starters

And wirelessly it's faster than my hard wired IBM

You should be beat with a wet noodle.

I will not buy a MAC.

i'm all mac these days.

The only time I don't use a mac is when I have to login to a SQL box or use the desktop work has given me. I rarely use the thinkpad they gave me either becuase i have had so many problems with it.

Are you kidding? The family and I love it.

Will it feed them? No, I'll still be an M$/IBM/Oracle Slave.

Now O/S2, there was an O/S

The only area the mac falls down is with games. Everything else on the mac is superior. I don't really play games on the PC anymore though, that is what the xbox360 is for.

There is a little bit of learning curve when switching from windows to mac. it took me a couple weeks to get comfortable. Now, it is 2nd nature and when i work on my windows machines they feel clunky and lame.

I am not a mac zealot by any means. I just want a machine that doesn't break all the time. I also don't want to field calls from my family about their compute problems - so they all have macs now too.
