I am typing this on my Mac. My main machine is a first generation Macbook. (2.0Ghz Core Duo, 1GB of RAM.)

I have it hooked to a 20" wide screen Dell LCD, and have an apple keyboard hooked up. I use a Logitech MX700 for the mouse.

I use it in clamshell mode, so the actual LCD on the laptop is only used for portable computing. I leave the computer open after engaging clamshell mode so that the screen is not heated constantly.

I know I could have just gotten a 20 inch iMac, but this is cheaper and I can take it with me. I like having my data be portable.

I get a lot of work done in OSX. Spotlight is a perfect search tool. Safari is the only browser that I have ever not hated.

Quartz is perfect desktop acceleration. It isn't gaudy. It is fast, pretty, and actually adds functionality.

iTunes is wonderful, in OSX. I can't imagine another concept for dealing with a music library surpassing iTunes.

Adium is the best IM client ever. Nothing comes close to matching it. It looks better, works better, and is more extensible than anything else out there.

Quicksilver is application launching that makes sense.

Mail, Toast, Handbrake, Cyberduck, Pages, Keynote... the list of OSX exclusive applications that have no real counterpart (in my opinion) goes on and on!

I love my Mac.

I also love my Linux box. It gets its job done as well.
