Some interesting comments offering advice to a columnist on switching or not switching to a Mac...
The first, ignoring the latest price comparisons, says "I can get more power for the $ with PCs than with Macs." Another says "Mac sell only because they look good in the living room... coolness is why Macs sell..." The next, noting the latest price comparisons, says "I'm switching, big time!" One poor lost soul, probably a PC user masquerading as a Mac user, thinks that OS 9 was an OS with "beauty and grace" which is now completely lacking and that "... with each successive OS (X) update ... the platforms become less stable (especially Tiger)..." Then there is the Apple II fanatic that just can't let go of the fact that Apple discontinued his baby... 20 years ago... and has developed a "hate Apple" fixation. The last user compares a Mac to a Toyota... ;^)>
PING!

I have a Mac G4, which is almost exactly 5 years old, running 10.3.9 (haven't got Tiger yet). It is rock solid stable - on hardware that is 5 years old!
One of my clients is going to be testing the use of a MacBook that will have 2GB RAM - with Parallels, which lets you run OSX and also WinXP inside a window on the Mac desktop. if it works well, it will be an ideal solution.

You make really fish nice fish tanks out of the old macs. Much better than Intel based machine.

"Since the advent of OS X for the Mac, much of the 'beauty and grace,' if you will, that was the essence of Macintosh computers is gone. Yes, they are still beautiful to look at, and yes, they are very fast. But with each successive OS update ... the platforms become less stable (especially Tiger), and I'm sorry to say, more like a PC Windows machine. Funny... I have found the exact opposite to be true. The Mac OS has become much more stable in the last few years. And all versions of x but the original release have been far more stable than any "Legacy" MacOS.

"Rages" on?
Yeah right. Like I'm going to debate a weenie who is part of 5% of the total computer market? I got better things to do
And what's this constant BS about "high end" Macs are cheaper than "High end" PCs? I have worked with computers every day of the last 20 years and literally don't know anyone who has a MAC at all, or a "high end" PC, for that matter...
Now about the "low end" real world market...
