I am definitly a mac person. Consider the fact the mac computers are much more user friendly, more organized, less likely to get viruses, more pre-installed software, less crashes, intel core duo, and the ability to use both mac and pc software. Plus they make plenty of software that is usually for pc on the mac, such as Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc. If you get a new 2 GHz intel core duo with the 1 gb memory and you will not regret it. Trust me I have been on both sides of the computer world and a mac works much much better.
