I'm a Mac guy all the way. My Dad is an architect and my mom a graphic designer. All I've ever known was Macs. I'm not one of those "hip guys" who got one because it was cool, I keep using it because for me, its the best.

PCs are fine, and XP is a decent OS. But in the long run I think Apple's give you more bang for your buck. And in my experience my friends with PCs have way more problems than any of my friends with Macs.
