I'm a PC man, but I always hear how superior macs are in graphical applications. Since I'm a database guy, I never went to apple.

What do you use them for? Graphics/animation? Or something else?

pssst... The G6 is still in development. The G5 is the newest available. I have a G5 iMac at work and it is a rockin machine (albeit a bit noisy when the fan kicks on).

Wow, your ahead of the time..I thought they just came out with the G5's...

Edit: This has been covered, but I left it in cause I had posted it already

I have been a PC guy for so long, and recently started using a Mac als, and I love it. as soon as I can totally migrate (meaning afford a iBook or Powerbook) I will.

Some of my reasons:
No Virus software needed (according to a friend who works for apple, only 2 known viruses for mac, and they are in a lab)
No spyware software needed
Unix based
Easier to use software (That I use, i am not a gamer, so dont need that stuff)
Integrates better with the iPod
No Windows registry
Easy to synch iPod, PDA, Bluetooth phone, iCal, and address book with just one program.
And they look cooler

I'll get you some. Two chicks right?

Macs do suck. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the 2 reasons I ever had for buying a Mac are now available for PC. The iPod and iTunes.

NM, if you hold down the pause/stop button on the iPod for a few seconds it will turn off. Oh, and the button at the bottom is also the stop button. Stupid that they don't title it as such, but it is.

She's right. Read the manual, dude. The bottom of the click wheel is Play/Pause and holding it down for a few seconds turns it off.

Duh. I know how to turn it off, dude. It's retarted that it doesn't have a dedicated on/off switch....like i said. Having to use the play button to double as an off switch, then having any button turn the stupid thing on is annoying and a PIA. An on/off switch like on say, oh, every other device ever, makes way more sense.
