I have been using Apple products for 3 years now and have found the hardware
and software superior to the Windows/Intel alternative.  The hardware has
been rock solid and the new iMac is simply beautiful and when compared side
by side to Dell or HP the Mac is the better buy.  For advanced users the G5
and dual processor G5 is unbelievable.  They made a super computer out of
the G5s.  

As far as software I have never had a program crash or been infected with
viruses.  I have found that Office for the Mac is superior to the Windows
version and found very application I use with no problem and at a reasonable
cost.

However, if someone wanted to try OSX and Apple versions there is a product
called PearPC that will make any standard PC use OSX and Apple applications.
The Mac Mini is a good buy and an affordable entry into the Apple world.

Get into Apple and you will no longer be seduced by the dark side.
