Is there a hell for Mac Converts?

If there is...

I come before you today to profess a deep and profound shame. I am becoming a Macophile.

*Gasps. Large woman faints*

This is a culmination of events. I am surrounded by the plastic denisons of usability at school. Osmosis is apparently to blame for part of the conversion. Also, I bought a G1 iPod 5Gb off of my Macky freind. This must have been part of some insidious plot to seal my moral and computational downfall. I love the fact that when I plug in my iPod, I can--with a push of a single button--sync all of my music. I love being able to search through my music using the XML library--I also love XML.

This is only the musical facet of the Apple paradigm. I am not ready to make the leap yet. I have too much affection for my time-tested Compaq laptop running an extensively modified version of XP Home. I suppose that I am yet doomed to ride the proverbial fence...

I have always been a pc user, but recedntly invested in the new minimac. I love the little thing!! I'm not converting, I'm adding to. I can network/share all of my documents between the two. You know what they say, variety is the spice of life!

many people feel a deep seated Tribal need to pick a "side" in many issues where both sides have clear + & - points. The true logical view is to have both !

I use Linux so the machine doesn't matter as much since it runs either.

Runs either? Please explain how you use OS X on a PC?

OS X? I'm sorry which part of "Linux" did you not catch? Linux will run a PC or a MAC.

You know, iPods work with PCs too.

It's not that big of a deal to have an OS run on a different hardware platform if the low level code was designed to be ported.

Windows NT, at one time, ran on SEVERAL different hardware platforms - PC, Mips, PowerPC, Alpha.
