Most of that isn't true. And PCs are just as capable in terms of photo editing software as Macs. But a whole generation of photographers and art directors grew up on Macs, so they are still predominant in the graphic arts trades.

The main advantage of a Mac these days is that there are far fewer viruses and spyware out there to haunt your computer. Macs still don't seem to be a target for the idiots. And most who use both platforms consider the Mac interface quite a bit less clumsy than a PC.

There is also the argument that a mac last for many more years than a pc. They told me that overall my mac would last approx. 6 years. I may need to eventually get an external hard drive but the equipment part will last. When my dad figured out how much it costs and how many years it will last it was approx. 75 cents per day to own the machine... The guy at the mac store told me the same thing. I asked why I couldn't just pay him 75 cents per day as long as the machine worked. He really didn't take well to that idea.

That's about the price of a Mac Mini- not quite as
powerful
as an
iMac, but it might be worth a look.
