Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Huluriasquias]

Newly, please let me barge in...

lango presented an excellent case for owning a Mac. (Very impressive as you well said)

The downside was covered by him in this post:

Many programs out there are Windows-only. That means that in the near future you'll have to keep at least one PC box around. Trading in particular is very poorly represented in the Mac world. And don't underestimate the disadvantages of not running some of the programs you need. I can be a big pain.

The strategy Apple is taking to overcome this lack of software is to leap-frog the current state of affairs and aim for the "next" niches: Music, Video, Home networking, and several other things that I cannot still envision.

As long as you keep a PC around to run Tradestation, and some other charting programs, you'll have the satisfaction of having a well-designed Mac computer, and the privilege of being in the bleeding edge of the "new thing". You'll use it for tasks not normally associated with a PC.

And yes. You can mix Macs and PCs easily in your local network. (Both cabled and wireless)

Hope this helps.
