Re: "Macs just WORK" - Indeed they don't, or not for long
I have both a Mac and a PC at home, which I guess makes be about as
informed or uninformed as the next guy/gal.
Here are my two cents worth. PCs suck. Macs are by far the best for
everything having to do with photography, and life in general. As far
as I am concerned the only reason anyone should use a PC is because
they can not afford a Mac.

I have the benefit of both, a Mac at work, a PC at home. I have
worked on PCs for 12 years. I have worked in Photoshop on a PC for
that long. My PC WAY outperforms my Mac in both Photoshop and word
processing.
However, I attribute that to not knowing how to navigate
experientially on a Mac as well as I do a PC. Whatever you start
with probably becomes your "native" mode of working and others seem
strange. I personally don't like to think about what buttons to
press while doing anything and PCs are subconscious for me. A
computer should remain transparent while working on it and the PC
is, the Mac isn't--for me.
Macs do start up faster.
Why don't Macs have a delete key that deletes to the right?
I totally agree with Mark that Word on Macs SUCKS. It is slow,
balky and CRAP. I even go so far as to type on my home PC and then
import it so I don't have to use the Mac for word processing. It
could be that new chip?
So my bottom line is that those of you who say image processing on a
PC isn't good, I just don't agree.
So now, can anyone recommend a state of the art point and shoot
camera that shoots raw mode that you all really think is top notch?
Smallish and pocketbook friendly?

Oh wowowowowwww......... I had no idea what I was starting when I made
the comment that macs just work. My own first computer was a Radio
Shack running Basic. I think it had 4k of memory and I was SO excited
when I upgraded it to 16K. :o)
