[Conann FitzPatrick | Paintings, drawings, digital art and photographs. An artist's Blog with work for sale.] There is alot to be said for the unified menu system on the Mac. Its only when you have used it for a bit and go back to a PC, that you appreciate its value to the user experience.

[Mindless Musings of A. Roach] In a conversation I was having online this morning...: What if those who were called to be prayer warriors acted like PC users instead of MAC users, what if those who were called to be Bible scholars did the same. What if the church, were able to do what the computer world can't and accepted the different tools and their uses, and used these things for God's glory instead of to create division, and guilt, and fear, and axiety about not being right, and good, and acceptable, and cool, etc.
[Shapeofdays.com] The Shape of Days: Mac OS X on Intel: Try before you buy?: Given Apples experiences with software piracy, particularly the rampant software piracy that spread developer builds of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger all over the Internet this past spring, Apples management from the top down knows full well that this developer preview will be in the hands of every kid with a cable modem within days of its release.

[Blog.monkeymethods.org] monkey methods: Bill Gates Strikes a Pose for Teen Beat ...: UPDATE: Wow, Blogger.com kinda sucks.

Not to mention the strategic aspects of most of it, which would just about fit in a two-hundred-strong stack of slideware.
[Blog.wired.com] The Cult of Mac Blog: the Mac’s paltry 658 score was not even close to the PC’s blazing 1250, the best score I’ve ever seen on this test... If you care about looks, style and cachet, have a superiority complex, and don’t mind buying into a platform that’s slower and already obsolete, go with the Mac G5."
[Blogs.msdn.com] Entourage Weblog :: Carter ticks off the Apple tools that are as essential to the band as its drums and guitars: “We’ve got five 15-inch PowerBook G4s, with Cinema Displays and AirPort and Bluetooth. We use Entourage and iLife and we edit video with Final Cut Pro.
