| IMAO, based on years of running Linux, OS X is what Linux wants
| to be on the
| desktop: a clean, powerful, robust, Unix-based OS that the average person
| can easily install, maintain, and use. Apple got it right.
|
| I say this as a former Apple hater. I thought they were overpriced and
| underpowered. Until OS X, they were. I'm typing this on a
| PowerBook G4 (the
| 12-inch version), and it was the second Mac I've purchased: my main user
| workstation at home is a flat-panel iMac (the one that some folks think
| looks like a lamp). I've sent M$ the last dollar I ever will.

I've never been a fan of Mac, for a number of reasons.  But have seen a
number of comments over past year that they've come down in
price/performance and people have switched (or gone back) to them from PCs.

Mebbe time to bite the bullet...  If so, I'd probably start with Office for
Mac for convenience, but what software is recommended in lieu of XL, Word,
and Visio??  How easy are the packages to adjust to and (especially) can
files be converted back-and-forth to M$ easy enough??

You've tried or know about Apple's server?  How does it compare to a 400??
