My office-mate has one and loves the thing but I think that he falls into anything that is over-priced and pretty. Actually, he'll buy anything with an apple logo. Hell he spent $4,000 on one of those scooters. Yeah, it is nice looking but I'd rather get a used crotch-rocket for the money. Oh-yeah computers. Anyway, I believe most Mac users are this way. Pay extra for something that is pretty. Mac's are pretty much PC's anyway. They have USB, PCI slots, IDE drives, PC-100 memory (all from PC's) which they had to do to keep there prices at least in the same ballpark. There is nothing that is truly different other than the processor and O.S. and now that Apple is trying to port their, BSD-based (Unix), OS X to the x86 architecture I doubt that there will be anything that separates PC's from Macs. I t is also rumored that they are looking for someone else to make their processors like AMD. If this happens then Macs won't be much more than really good coding and a pretty face with an expensive price tag.
My thoughts are that PC users are PC users because we like to tinker with our machines and Mac users don't. I mean look at the cube. Any PC user would ask "what the hell do I want a 6"x8"x3" heatsink for". Just so I can say that my computer doesn't need a fan. Give me a better heatsink w/a fan and let's overclock that baby and then use the extra space for more than one occupied (by video card) PCI slots. Hell, give me an AGP slot.
I personally think the thing is really nice to look at but you can't do anything. Are PC's really that loud afterall? Oh Yeah You'll love this one. He was so proud that it didn't have a fan and then ordered an ATI Radeon video card and it came with...guess what...yup, a fan.
Basically Mac-heads and PC-heads break down to those who don't like to work on their cars and wrench-heads in my opinion. I know that you might not agree with the analogy but it works for me.

You must not have alot of them, or an 100mb switched to the desktop network.. because appleshare is god awful inefficient compared to a linux or netware network. Find something like lanalyzer for appleshare and look at the network utilization at peak times. hehe.
