Same here. In doing job searches, I see a lot of jobs requiring Mac experience, primarily at colleges. But, with over a decade as a network admin, most of my experience has been with Windows, so I have to keep those skills up first and foremost. But, the need to learn Mac, coupled with my *desire* to learn Mac stuff, is on the agenda. Like you, it's the ducats at the moment standing in the way. I'm going to shell out a bit of dough to buy/build another desktop or two. Thank goodness I can learn Linux for free! :(

The only thing that keeps me from being a Mac user NOW is that echo inside my wallet.

That's how serious I am about jumping ship. The only thing that I enjoy on the pc is the free stuff and the games at this point.
