For my money (and my money IS where my mouth is), the Apple is a much better deal.

But we've had this argument too many times already.

(BTW PawoSD, I did put Firefox on my GF's computer and it is a lot better. Thanks.)
Firstly, Firefox is awesome, Safari is crap in comparison.

Apple is getting more and more malicious code written for it, so the anti-spyware/virus argument will not continue endlessly. For that you will need to go to Linux

My G4 machines were some of the quirkiest, why is it so slow today machines that I have ever owned.

Apple v. PC kinda like repub v. democrat - neither is what anyone really wants, but every few years, you are forced to choose.....
