| Why did you buy your Mac ? Let us know why you bought your Mac (maybe we'll understand if moving to x86 makes sense to you).

| I got into the Graphic Design Field and the industry Standard for that is Mac, and i just got a new Dell from my folks a year ago, (now running Ubuntu Linux) and I couldn't justify getting a 2nd Desktop, and i needed something small faster and portable. Hence the 12" PowerBook G4, and i want to get rid of my dell for an iMac G5...

| Hmm, you need more choices.  I bought mine because I'm a developer & geek and I like to keep up with whats going on. Until OS X didn't feel the Mac was worth any of my time, quite honestly.

| good lord! what an awful bunch of options - what do you actually hope to derive and achieve with such a poll - offering such loaded and directionless choices to the question? could you at least make sure people know this is totally tongue in cheek and pointless?... |

| The OS...definately the OS. I started using the Mac in the DOS days, and it kicked serious heiney back then and still does now. I had an option to get an x86 laptop last year when I upgraded but when with the mac because of (1) previously owned software (2) lickably great powerbooks and (3) Panther

| LOL.. your actually using Rhapsody still. .Much respect. This is a very good move.. I didnt buy a mac because of its processor I brought it for the operating system. As long as the machines hardware is stable and fast (something no doubt apple will ensure) then I am happy.
