As for getting a Mac, here's a little personal observation for you.

My folks were serious Mac-heads when they first got into 'puters. I went IBM/clone before they started.

They went for cable modem as soon as it came out. I was on 33k dialup, and they were somewhat faster. I got a 56k dialup, and ended up about 20% FASTER.

I now have ADSL, and they've gone to IBM clone. The clone is more than 4X faster than the Mac using the same cable connection, in the same room, on the same power supply.

Mac? No thanks, I'll deal with the occasional mishap rather than wait forever for pages to load.
