Gee golly gosh whiz, I can get my Dell a whole 24 hours sooner so I can fill it with spyware, adware, trojans, and viruses! Who needs an astoundingly fast turnaround on repairs when I can get a crappy black plastic case over the stylish white or silver of a Mac?
Seriously, though, most companies can take up to a week to put the computer together in the first place. Overnight shipping is a ripoff.
Also, in case you have not noticed, OSX completely Pwns Windows in many respects. Also, the G5 processor can compete very favorably with almost anything else on the market, and is the exclusive platform of many audio tools.
So please, take a walk in someone else's shoes before making a judgement. I used to be anti-mac fanatic; now, I'm a major fan of the OS. The only reason I'm not using one now is the price, but if the Mac Mini is any indicator, that's going to become a non-issue by the time I purchase my next laptop. Heck, if I can find one for 150$ for less, I'm getting the G4/motherboard off Ebay and building a macintosh inside a toaster for the sheer unadulterated heck of it.
