I’m a die-hard Mac lover… although there were a few years there we had a Dell (for financial reasons), but I bought an iMac G5 a couple years ago, and I’m in heaven.

As far as Mac tools go, Jason’s got a good list there. Some of my favs include:

Camino : an OSX version of Firefox, it’s tighter, cleaner, and faster (so they say).

Curio: My go-to program for all kinds of tasks; planning, some graphic work, project management, etc. I love it, and recommend it all over the place.

Fireworks: my graphics solution. From Macromedia, the Dreamweaver people.

Mellel: word processing. I use TextEdit for most things, but Mellel is what I use to write books, handouts for classes, etc.

Quicksilver: a launcher, and then some. I know some people like LaunchBar (I used to) and others like Butler (never tried it). Quicksilver is lean, gorgeous, and if Merlin Mann swears by it, it’s gotta be pretty good.

So, there’s a few!

I have both a PC and an iMac. I honestly like them both. The Mac ads don’t bother me – I find them mildly funny and like that they have made them a series. I’m working from my PC tonight.

I’ve never tried a MAC i don’t agree with their advertising techniques and all the time slagging off Microsoft, the only 2 OS’s I use are XP and Kubuntu .
But you should check out Opera Browser it is the most secure out their you have a mail client, simple notepad, Feed reader and brilliant widgets.
Best thing of all it supports the Wordpress WYSIWYG editor .

And you have to love Photoshop, the best image editor out their and well worth the money compared to other ones it is at the top of the list.
