Apple vs PC

I have been a long time PC user and often wondered why someone would choose a MAC over a PC. After all, PC's dominate corporate America, so what would be the benefit of using a MAC? Last semester, while researching my paper on personal digital libraries, I came across some software made only for a MAC, and I really wanted to try it but couldn't. So for the first time I began to consider buying a MAC, but since I am rather frugal I needed to find some additional virtues for the MAC. After listening to Dr. Tomer's recent podcast, which included a brief overview of Apple's operating virtues, I added another check mark to the pro side of my checklist for Apple. I have been reluctant to upgrade to Vista because I am happy with the stability of XP, but now I know that Apple's operating system is also stable. I have been looking at the Apple website but I just noticed they offer some free 1 hour workshops to introduce users to Apple's system. I believe I'll book a session with them.
