Randy, I'm a Mac fan and have both PC & Macs (PowerPC G4 x2). One of my many freelancing jobs is helping people sort out their computer problems. I don't think the PC is a slowly dying dinosaur. PCs are here to stay because people like what they know. You could look at Mac's transition to Intel as a slow convergence towards a world of oneness where both exist together in a compatible PC world. Macs are now really just smart-looking high-spec PCs, with a slightly different OS. Vista has learnt from and copied OS X in its appearance and functionality. The next computer I'm going to buy is not a Mac - I've had too many hard drive failures on my G4s and my iPod to love Apple hardware any more. It's all about features. I have all the design and editing software I need on Mac already, but what I want from PC is Windows Media Center - integrated TV, HDR, Video on demand, Podcasting, RSS, Music, blah blah blah. This is traditional Mac territory, but Vista has done it better this time. Apple TV is seriously short on features.

Would the new Mac with the Intel chip that can run Windows qualify as "pc accessability". I'm planning on buying a second computer. I considered a good pc but then decided the new Mac with the Intel chip would work just as well. I edit with iMovie but like programs like Microsoft Word in the PC. However, since switching to Mac, I view the PC as a slowly dying dinosaur. Is there any reason I should consider getting a top of the line pc instead of a new Intel Mac? Money is not an important consideration. I never worked with video on a PC because my old PC didn't have the strength.
