Well, I just like Macs. But my opinion is that in the long run the price difference between Mac and PC ownership is not that big, for the following reasons:

1. When I have a PC, I buy a lot more computer games (and I tend to buy, rather than pirate);
2. When I buy a lot of computer games, I notice that my computer is falling behind more often;
3. Therefore, I upgrade my video card and RAM and shit more often.

I've owned my iBook for over 2 years and basically put about $150 in upgrades into it; last time I had a PC the upgrade cost over 2 years was probably more like $400-600. So I dunno, I think it works out in the long haul.
