I know that we've had a couple "Mac vs. PC" threads lately where longtime Windows users were thinking about buying a Mac...and wanted/needed "convincing" to help with the decision.
I was helping another Mac-Forums member with an iMac G4 "slowness" question...and the conclusion we came to was that maybe it was time for a newer computer. Now the issue of buying a Windows vs. Mac really never came up...but the Mac-Forums member "jimshady" said something which I thought was VERY interesting...and I wanted to mention it here & see what folks thought.

"i will be looking for an older intel macbook maybe around 500.00 I know I can get a new dell for less but I had my Imac for 8 years now while a friend went through 3 or four pc's during the same time period, so in my opinion a used mac is better then a new pc ..."
I thought that this was a really awesome statement!

p.s. Thanks Jim for the very "witty" thought!
