Cool Mac, PC (without Windows)

As a professional programmer and system administrator for the past 20 years, I've always been a Unix fan.

I've been using Linux for over 5 years now and I wouldn't change, though I am tempted by the new Macs running OS X (FreeBSD variant).

I used to have one of the original Macs and a Mac II. Those were good machines back then, but Apple failed to stay ahead of Windows with the OS. Now they've caught up and surpassed Windows with OS X.

I will eventually be retiring my wife's PII Windows PC and replacing it with a Mac. My son will get a new Windows PC just because of the games we have.

The wife's old PII PC will be relegated to the basement lab as a robotics development machine.

Windows, I've found, just was never reliable enough without having to be reloaded now and then. Of all the Windows versions, I find Windows 2000 to be the most stable of them all.

As far as number crunching power goes, I like the 64 bit Alphas, but the PowerPCs are pretty fast too. I'm waiting on the 64 bit AMD Hammer chip.
