I really like the design and feel of mac. Its stability. Its secure OS. But, is it worth giving up all my PC games(i am getting a G5 so no virutal PC for me yet), my lovely two button mouse, bottom-aligned taskbar, and so on?

If you wanna pay lots of money for a good, reliable tool, yes.

Dude, I had an Amiga 500, Deluxe Paint III, that was the shit. Knew I'd be a digital artist every since.

Man... get a MAC... seriously.
But keep a PC under your desk for the so little occasions when you may use it.

i went to check out a g5 last night. sad to say but i was disapointed.
the box is huge and heavy as hell, it wasnt as fast as i expected. the lcd displays are the best ive seen, but not that great really. plus i have big sticker shock.
really, i dont think macs and pcs are all that different.

At the risk of sounding like "can't we all just get along", it doesn't really matter what you get. PC's, Mac's, Linux's, even Amiga's are all capable of producing the same files at the same qualities. Get the one you're comfortable with and can afford.
For me, the design of the casing doesn't apply, but I can see where that would be important to some.
Oh yeah, there is that other issue... If you feel the need to make some sort of idealogical stand against Billy G and the gang in Redmond. That's not very good logic to put behind a major expense though.

Of course...
not.
Save your money and go with a PC and SEVERAL nights out getting drunk.

u can use any type of mouse on macs as well.
you need to ditch the mouse that comes with the package.. it's useless.
altho i would love to know what mouse is delivred with the G5?
btw. can someone lead me to pics of someone unpacking the G5, thus showing all that is delivered?
(and not some Apple promo please)..

" the lcd displays are the best ive seen, but not that great really."
a contradiction in termini?

sorry, i wasnt bieng clear about lcd displays.
what i meant was it was the best of the lcd's, but that lcd isnt as good as crt, but thats a different thread.
