iMac G5 then

Theres nothing a mac can do that a high quality pc can do.

If you can actually provide a link to a Windows XP version of Expos?, I'd be eternally grateful - its utterly wonderful, and far more helpful than the minimalist alt-tab list that XP has by default.

On another point, OSX does actually recognise all your multi-buttoned, wheeled up wondermice automatically - just plug your Microsoft Intellimouse straight into the USB port. Why you'd pay ?50 for the Apple one when you can pick up the Philippe Starck designed Microsoft one for less and have your wheel and right-click without denying yourself drop-dead looks I don't know.

There's really no use in X vs Y arguments.

i used a Windows PC for eight years 95, 98, 2000, XP. I was a PC engineer for a while.

I started using a Mac and prefered it immeasurably due to its stability and ease of use.

I'd advise anyone who uses a PC for anything other than Office and web browsing to give it a go. Nothing to lose, except your downtime. If you think its crap then continue merrily with your Microsoft machine.

And the latest edition of Mac:Office is superb...really superb!

Lot of bleeding edge gamers here, so no wonder the mac platform seems pointless (sporadic releases don't count).

Still, I don't suppose you can argue the ease of use and attractiveness points, although stability is moot - my XP box will stay up as long as your mac, and MS wasn't even aware of this hardware setup when they released it.

Time to lay this one to rest, although that request in itself was poopoo'd in another mac thread.
