I use a Mac exclusively at work and a PC at home.....My feeling is the Mac OS in general is more intrinsicly intuitive.(except for that quirky thing where you have to throw an icon in the trash to get your CD Rom to come out of its tray.) It is the ONLY computer platform IMO for doing professional graphics and audio video work. The new Mac OS 10 is more reliable than anything I've ever used. Macs are generally considerably more expensive than "equivalent" PCs and until recently Mac software was expensive and hard to find. As someone stated earlier, the new Macs are essentially cross platform so you can run pretty much any current software for either platform...also for older Macs there is a program called Virtual PC which basically turns your Mac into a PC. I *have* noticed certain web sites are not particularly Mac friendly.....I better shut up now...the techno nerd part of my multiple personalities seems to be taking over.
peace out
