In no longer poor - but I was until the macintosh came into my life. Without a mac, there's no way I'd have my freelance career in the creative industry (graphics, branding, advertising, illustration, UI, etc.) it was always tough to come up with the cash for my next computer, but of course i realized this was the biggest investment i'd ever make in myself (never went to college).
Anyway, the four macs I bought over the past 14 years were my direct ticket into a well-paid reality, and have paid off something like 200-to-1.
... And there is absolutely NO way I could have done this with Windows machines... well maybe if i went into a more-boring, less-creatively-fullfilling career (although these days I do run XP on my mac so I can test multimedia files).
