$700 for a Mac.. Then add another $100 or more for anti-virus. Then add another $500/year to have the cpu rebuilt after you get the blue screen of death.
Then add another $1000 a year for time wasted installing or trying to find new or usable drivers. Then add another $5000 a year for the loss of productivity time if you use your computer for anything other than accounting or email, web surfing.. No thanks.. I was a PC person for many, many, many years and the quality and quantity of my work was worth every penny of MAC dollars. So effectively, PC's are for people whose time is worth less..

Funny how this type of thread always turns into a "put-down" thread.....
My PC laptop has been problem free for 3 years, so I don't know what the big deal is.....

Different machines for different tasks, I'm no fanboy but ever since OSX came out, Macs are pretty slick machines as long as you know what you're doing (that's the key there) and with Parallels or VMware, can still run PC apps sometimes faster than on a PC.
I can't live without Outlook though so the best solution is to have a PC and Mac on my desk. I do hate the fact that Macs have become soooo trendy, it's just a fooking computer...
