Heh the old MAC vs PC debate huh?
Meh it's all much of a muchness as far as I can see, a Mac will perform around about the same as a similar spec'ed PC. As Fiddler says, there is a definite price differance, and Macs do look far sexier than PC's. The only axe I have to grind with Apple products are the way in which you are forced to use their services to do anything.
