    I predict...

    ...this thread will catch up to the Greenwald thread on Ron Paul by tomorrow. Nothing like a holy war to get the commenter juices flowing!

    For what it's worth, I use both and have also done the Linux/Unix thing. The one thing I don't love about my Powerbook Pro is the keyboard/touchpad design -- the keys are way too far from the front of the machine for my taste, so it tends to sit on my desk connected to a KVM switch while my PC laptop (which also happens to be smaller and lighter) does the travelling. I love playing around with GarageBand, so that's the thing I love most about the Mac, but I end up doing most of my work on the PC, probably because I tote it everywhere with me while the Mac stays home. Count me also among those who tend to keep computers for a long time and then pass them on to friends and family members when I'm ready to trade up.
