Hey, something cool happened to me today. I was just getting out of a meeting on campus and I stopped in at a computer lab to look something up on the internet. I had to walk all the way to the end of the room, right past all of the unoccupied Windows machines, to use a computer (which happened to be a Power Mac G4). As a recent switcher, I now prefer Macs. I feel warm inside. :)

That warm fuzzy feeling inside when you hear the startup chimes.
Well, if youre Mac is older anyway, or do new macs still do that?

Yes they still have that same startup sound your G4 DA has. :D

I do the same thing as the OP and walk past the PC's and use the Macs if I have that choice.
