But I work on a PC at my job, and although I bitch and moan about it, it's ok (protected by firewalls, network security, etc. etc.). I would never ever own a PC at home because of the security problems. I have never had a virus on my Mac in the 15+ years I've owned one. For working with Adobe CS, even a low-level Mac is much faster out of the box. The interface is still, after all these years and all those version of Windows, much more intuitive. I've had my desktop monitor quit on me, I've had my printer quit on me, I've never had my Mac quit on me. Apple has to work harder because they're the little guy. They also have to charge more for their machines, but it's worth it in the long run. Anyway, that's my take on it!
