I used to own an Apple LC series when I started and it was so user friendly. However, I switched to PC last couple of years and took quite some time to adapt to the less intuitive interface, as well as getting used to frequent seizures as well as worry about viruses.
I just bought an eMac with superdrive........excellent graphics, sensuous keyboard with soft touch, and a MB-like build quality and running. Seamless MSOffice, unparalled imovie and photoshop capability (what a struggle to edit movies on PC!!), and capability to simulate Windows if you need it..........its a no-brainer.
Only downside is that software is comparatively lacking and lagging.
My $0.02.
