[QUOTE="martyp, post: 902183, member: 61183"] Well, I used old iMacs (the rainbow type ones) in school and hated them. I always talked Macs down and was your typical Wintel fanboy. Until...The PowerMac G5 came out in 2003. I then adored Mac's, the industrial look, the power and later when it came with water-cooling I always dreamed of switching. Unfortunately, being in high-school with just a paper round I couldn't afford one - even as a x-mas present it was a bit much considering I had a high-spec PC. Last year tho, with money to burn I figured I'd take the plunge and bought my dream machine from 2004 - water cooled G5 with dual 2.7GHz chips. The fact that it was 4 yrs old didn't bother me - I finally had a PM G5! :) I loved OS X, clean internals of the case, industrial design. Then spending time on the Apple Store brought me to were I am now - Mac heaven! Can't say I hate Microsoft Windows, but given the choice I'd run OS X. So I suppose, the G5 made me switch - thank you Jonathan Ive... :) [/QUOTE]
