Alreet everyone? Long time no post. Hope you are all good 
I am well geeked up now - Just bought a new beast of a machine
24" iMac
2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
500gb Hard drive
Nvidia 256mb 7600GT
I can't recommend Macs over Windows enough - 10 times better than shitty windows in every way possible.

Ive the 21" iMac, got it last Xmas before the Intel chips. 1000x better than windows!
Looking at getting rid of it soonish and upgrading to a Mac Pro with Dual 23" Displays

yea, good luck with reliability. At work the macs are nothing but trouble, software is sound but they just seem to unreliable in terms of hardware/build quality.
i'd have a custom built PC any day.
mouse is shoot too.
plus point is looks, OS and the music/media/photo menu with the mini remotes

not had one problem with my Mac since December - software or hardware/build quality.
agreed about the mouse though, but wanted a wireless one anyway so upgraded to a two button one at same time!

The fact I dont even have to have any virus software because there's no viruses for macs makes it better than windows!!
Anything I was using on Windows Ive been able to get for mac, or if the exactly program isn't produced Ive managed to find something that does exactly the same job.
Much much nicer interface, 10 x quicker. Never will go back to windows personally.
Each to their own though.

Though, if you do get a Mac with XP on it you truely are a fasion victim as you have taken the man reason for buying a Mac and thrown it in the bin

actually mate, as you own a "reboxed" pc rather than a propper PowerVR mac, there are plenty of virus's out an about for the intel versions (there were even a few for the better powervr systems)...so i would get a anti-virus on there asap!
not a fan of the new intel jobbies, certainly not any faster than a decent G5 and they are full of bugs, but OSX is a nice O/S, alot better than windows any day!
ed - thanks to apples dumbness going to intel, you can run OSX on a x86 (AMD/Intel pc)  google for OSX Pc Project

we have had numerous DVD/CD's that get stuck in the drives, they then have to be sent off to get them out!! think theres to much style gone into them and not enough practicality in terms of hardware/pheripherals etc etc
