I guess it's kind of like jazz: if you have to ask, you'll never know.

Seriously though, why not give one a try? If you have an Apple Store in your area, go there and take them for a test drive. But I do ask that you be open to the operating system and not expect it to be like Windows because it's NOT Windows. Being open is what allowed me to give Linux a try and I'm totally in love with it (I started as a Mac user, so you can imagine). I also was open about learning Windows even though I didn't like it at all during the 90s. I grew to like it, but then once I learned about Linux and opened up to that I eventually started moving away from Windows on my PCs to the point where now I don't even run Windows at home. I'm still a Mac user, so I have my iMac G5 for mainstream use and a Macintosh Quadra 650 that's acting as a web server for my family homepage and some other uses. This isn't to say that I don't use my Linux PCs for mainstream use....I do my surfing, e-mailing, productivity, and music composing on them as well. So for me, the applications are there for Macintosh and even Linux....so why bother with Windows and all of its issues?
