unabashed fan!
Here is a rundown of all the macs I have owned over the course of about 10 years...
Power Mac G-4 6 years old and never had a problem. My son still uses it.
Mac Mini - Awesome machine for the price if all you do is surf and email.
Mac Book (2) - 3 years and still works like a charm. Daughter took hers to college and has never had a virus or had it freeze up.
IMac G-5 22 inch - 4 years old and I am still in love with it!
In the last 5 years we have purchased 3 PC's and they have all been thrown in the trash. It was an endless battle with slow performance and mal ware. It seemed like I was constantly having to do maintenance of some sort on them. 2 ran on windows XP and 1 on Vista. Ugh.
The biggest problem with switching to a Mac is learning the new system. Little things can drive you crazy at first but once you get the nuances down you will be amazed at how simple everything is. If you do happen to get a lemon Apple is very good with their tech support and warranty work. And as mentioned before, some web sites are built to support IE and don't work well with Firefox or Safari but that doesn't happen very often anymore. The software that comes with your Mac (ILife) is designed to work seamlessly between applications so you can get really creative with your movies and photos.
