meh.. i bought my ibook G4 last year and friggin love it... It's quiet, has good battery life, is perfect for everything I do (private browsing, college notes/papers, gaming news), and doesn't nag me about the same mundane stuff that Windows has problems with. plus, not worrying about many viruses is a load off my back..
granted, I hate Apple's attitude about sht.. their friggin elitists; the employees at Apple stores piss me off (geniuses? a wii bit pretentious), the way quicktime auto-updates from Pro to a lesser .version just annoys me to hell.
and then of course those new Macbooks are out and look really nice and thin compared to my 14 inch iBook... but oh well.
I love OSX. I am beginning to hate Apple. But my next computer will definitely not be windows based. AARGH!!
ps. I forgot to mention that I rarely ever have to restart on this operating system,,,, that has to be the biggest plus
