I love my Dual 2.0 Ghz G5! I use it for work and leisure incorporating using all kinds of usage from HR graphic/photo comping to 24 channel audio recording to my ordinary day to day usage... all on its standard 512 mb of RAM! That's incredible!

Gone have the days of "The Blue Screen of Death" with the amazing OSX system that is so easy to use compared to MSWindows. Having said that if you really wanted Windows you can buy a Mac version that will enable you to run any PC software that you may already have. Its integration with the world of PC's is completed by MS Office for Mac being available enabling the documents you create to be fully compatible across platforms. I would highly recommend any Apple Powermac product from the Mac Mini to the Dual 2.5 Ghz to anyone looking for an alternative to any PC.

An example of the amazing stability of OSX: I can open every single application on this computer at once, force quit them all (except for the system), re-open as many as I like and carry on as if nothing had happened... Without the system crashing once, show me a PC that can do that and I'll eat my hat!

The standard applications that come with OSX are fantastic too, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband and now the fantastic Dashboard I recommend looking at http://www.apple.com/uk/ to see what I am talking about, the list is endless.

The only down side to owning a Mac is that sometimes some hardware like cheap digital camera's (generally under £50) aren't compatible with iPhoto meaning its impossible to link them up. Or syncing up with Sony Ericson mobile phones for example (as far as I know). It's always best to check compatibility before buying equipment to go with your Mac.
