Now that you can dual-boot a Mac machine into "proper Windows", buying a Mac 
is suddenly a much more attractive proposition.

Macs certainly do appeal to more "arty-types" like musicians, entertainers, 
marketing and media types.

I use a 2-year-old Sony phone to read my emails / surf when I'm out of the 
office.   That's the size of a deck of cards.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! I've not had my home desktop PC for long - so I may well 
win this round: Intel Quad core (2.4GHz).  4gb RAM.  750Gb HD.  22" 
widescreen screen.  'Nuff said.
