Andre, I bought my first Mac in 2005 and fell in love. It was the first computer system I have ever used that did not require a lot of technical knowledge (like Linux and UNIX) and did not crash repeatedly (like Windows). As an IT professional I highly recommend the Mac for regular home use. I plan on buying and iMac for the kids this spring and kicking all the PCs to the curb. I am sick and tired of dealing with security patches, and anti-virus updates, and rebooting. In my experience, the Mac just works.
