I have a Mac and just love it. No viruses, bugs or glitches.

No viruses period and only one (defeated) Trojan is justification alone to consider a Mac.  I get bombarded by all sorts of threats or potential threats daily.  I've seen my colleague's and student's pc's used to send out raunchy e-mail to addresses in their e-mail account (imagine your boss or client getting an e-mail from "you" full of profanity or directing him to some porn site?).  Nor would he or she appreciate getting a computer virus from you and you didn't even know you were infected!  Three months ago I had picked up a key logger program on  my pc that allowed someone to hack into one of my Online accounts.  I had to close that account and change thirty other passwords.  No problems so far with my Mac.

macs currently are not the major targets of virus makers. Due to the deifferences in their operating systems they are unable to be targeted by the same virusses written for windows. That is not to say that a virus cannot be written for mac, in fact recently we have a very large and pointed Mac attack with MACDefender and Apple releasing a targeted attack against it.

You can expect scammers to step it up in the futuer and we may have to contend with antivirus protection for mac.

17" MacBook Pro. Love it, love it, love it. 2 1/2 years old, not a hiccup.

DW's laptop is over 6 years old.  If it croaks in the near future I will be adding a MacBook Air to our house.

I'm browsing here on my Macbook Pro. Like MV I never converted, unless you count switching from an Apple II to a Mac SE.

I count it!!!   I'll always need pc's for some tasks but I think I'll stick with Mac from here on.

I stuck with PC during college but converted to Mac a year or so after graduation. I have a 2010 13" Macbook Pro, and have had an iPhone 4 since release week (and the 3GS before that). I've had my MBP for about a year now, and would like to upgrade to an upcoming release of a Macbook Air or a 27" iMac. I also plan to switch to an iPad 3 when it comes out (assuming it houses the rumored retina display - the type of display that's on the iPhone 4) in combination with a basic voice only phone (as I would just have the iPad 3 wherever I go). I switched to Mac and it will forever be my main machine (granted I do have Parallels Desktop available on my Mac so I can run Windows 7), just like I switched to a TempurPedic and it will forever be my type of bed (say goodbye to coil beds!).
