I’m devoted to Apple and the reason is neither childish nor pathological, it is, in fact, logical...I’m a graphic artist who works in the publishing industry and Macs are better suited to publishing workflows, handling fonts, colorspaces, color modes and exporting PS/ID/IA PDF’s better.

They’re also built to exacting standards and last forever, I’m still using a Quadra 800 I bought at Comdex decades ago, and all my Mac Pros, Power Macs and my Mac 604e still work...I doubt the same can be said for PC’s, although our database person’s Lenovo E20 seems to be built like a tank.

Now, I doubt I’ll feel the same way in five years, Yosemite is worse than Snow Leopard, oriented towards user-friendliness and away from being able to use it in a complex workflow, and the new Mac Pros are awful compared to the old Power Macs, with no expandability and limited customization...

I have an Early 2006 iMac with Core Duo still running, that's going on 9 years!!!!

True I can't update the OS, but it does what I want it to do. Snow Leopard with FaceTime.
