Opinions from the Apple crowd.

Didn't get a display due to being out of stock, but that can wait, here is my Macbook Pro which is replacing my hardworking G5 imac:

I added the wireless keyboard and mouse from the deceased desktop to my set up.

I've been forced to use Macs at work for the last 11 years. I would never allow one in my house.

I exactly the opposite. Been a Mac user at home since the Mac Plus--Amiga user before that. I LOVE the Mac! PCs I tolerate at work because I have to, but I have a dual processor G5 (with Parallels and RDC) that's my main work machine so I can pretty much stay in a Mac environment 75% of the time.

Sticking to the original post, at home I currently use a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac. Great machine! It's serving me well.

Hey, that's a real perty laptop.

Who's that in the picture? (Never mind. I know who it is. Nice avatar too.

)

Typing this on an iMac G4; the one with the half-a-basketball shaped base and the gooseneck monitor. My wife and daughter both use an iBook G4. And I still have one of the original iMacs, which doesn't get much use anymore.

So, Bob, how's that bake sale going on? ;-)

I've never heard of a reliable HP machine.

(used to work computer repair, HP's were probably second-most-often worked on pc's in the shop [second to gateways])

Well, now you have.

Get the 24" iMac with the glossy screen, the images are so much more vivid. I have a 19" matte-screen LCD plugged into my iMac for my second monitor, it looks quite dull in comparison.

I feel like I am on the bridge of the Enterprise when I fire up the 24" iMac.

I have also been a Mac user since the Mac Plus, and a Computer Tech for the last 20 years, on both sides.
I have a MacBook Pro 1.83, My wife has my old Powerbook G4 1.25, my son has my even older Powerbook G4 667, and I also have a 1.33 XServe in the house.

Yes I do have a Windows machine, in my son's room, 3GHz, it's lonely and gets little use.
