Henrik is absolutely right (although I believe that he means
expandable :>)). Macs also seem to last longer than equivalent Intel
machines ... I think probably because Mac owners are fanatical about
them.

Concern Mac, I will
consider it is for professional use only (when you computer is
dedicated for one purpose). PC is more flexible and have much more
software/hardware at a cheaper price and even lots of freeware
available.
Just my two cents

PC more flexible??? OK, it's my turn to start an OT flamewar now ;-)
Seriously, the Mac is surrounded by so many strange prejudgments.
It's a nice and pretty fast (nowadays) computer. An iMac is not very
expendable (only memory) but is the perfect small office/home
machine that runs Photoshop, video editing and Music composing
programs. It's perfectly quiet (no fan), not spacious and rather
good looking. The monstermachines G4 is of course a lot more
expendable and a lot faster running dedicated programs (again
Photoshop). There are THOUSANDS of quality programs and games for
the Mac, and internet is bulging with free- and shareware. If you
want to use more than those thousands of programs, you will need a
PC. On my old (1997) Mac I use Word, Explorer, Eudora and Photoshop,
Quark, Protools + some other. All newest versions without problems.
Quite enough for me...
