Re: OSX

I can't say I have anything against Macs, really. After all, they're Unix underneath. It's just the price. I wouldn't even say I couldn't afford one if I really wanted one, it's just that there's good enough cheaper elsewhere and always better things to do with spare cash.

That depends to a large extent on what you need a computer for. If, for example, you're into full time publishing, then you're most likely going to be running Adobe InDesign. That only runs on Windows or OS X. As is being discussed here, to continue running that on Win7 requires a constant battle with MS. Since engaging in that battle requires time, and time is money, then it's a no-brainer to run your business on OS X. The extra cost of the hardware is far less than the cost of doing battle with MS.
