I've been a Mac fan for 20 years (got my first Mac SE in 1987) and will never touch a PC for home use so long as the Mac OS is available. I don't care what the political leanings are of those who design the Mac and the software. The things work great.
Though I keep using the older hardware and software as long as I can, and only upgrade when absolutely necessary. Still using 10.3.9 on this g4/1.25 dualie. The new iMac has 10.4.10, but in no hurry to upgrade that, either.
Actually, the best way to buy Macs is to wait until the "latest and greatest" is announced, and then buy a closeout at cut-rate prices. You're only "one generation back" and someone else can pay the premium pricing.
Same with the OS. Now that 10.4 is coming out, the price of 10.4 system software disks should drop through the floor. I'll pick one up on ebay and upgrade this one from 10.3 to 10.4...

but that slows me down
That's how I got my G4/867/Superdrive. When it was phased out, when the next generation was announced, I got a factory refurb. I did the same with my G3 iBook, which I'm still using.
I broke the rule when I got the dual-core Mini that's my current alpha Mac. I wanted Intel, because I wanted to be able to run Windows in Boot Camp or Parallels. I'm building a fair number of Web pages these days, and I want to be able to preview them in Windows browsers, since that's what most folks are stuck using.
