I covet the wide screen monitors on some of the Macs I've used, and some of the software for Macs, but generally XP machines do everything I want them to do without worrying about if something has been ported over or converted. And besides, I'm not opposed to evil so I don't have a problem supporting Microsoft on any ethical grounds.I suppose it's possible that because the majority of the Apple machines I've used were work related that I'm not "getting it", but even when I'm goofing off I find that the differences are either minimal or favor the PC. I can crash a Mac and PC exactly as often running graphics programs, and make them run crappy doing the same tasks. BUT, Macs are definitely prettier than anything less than an Alienware PC and that counts for a whole lot really when I'm considering if I'd want this beast I use for ENWorld and internet access being placed where people would actually look at it.</blockquote>
