When I buy again.. it will be a Mac.

I would probably do without a computer if I were forced to
buy a Mac.

Why?

I'm not knocking Macs for the average user, but I'm an IT geek
and I enjoy customizing both the hardware and software. I
would feel like my hands were tied behind my back.

I would miss all the software. Win vs. Mac

Lots of folks love Macs. If you have no desire to do anyting
but *use* the machine, then it might be an even better choice
than a PC.

General PC user here. Though I would like to get back into playing
in the graphics area again.
