I do believe this is personal perspective. Alternately, most of the Techie's I know have PC's but also have drifted into using Macs for their powerful / intuitive Unix underpinnings. Many I know think Macs are very techy-friendly, especially from a software programming point of view. I think their are a multitude of reasons to go for either PC's or Macs. I think it's a mostly about satisfying your users and integrating with your organizations culture. Roger
