I recently found two PC World articles, written by the same person, that describe reasons to get Macs and reasons to get PCs (eight each). Links below.

Sorry, I haven't gotten around to updating my blog in the last five or so months. I've been extremely busy lately.
Swiss rescue officials say they have found two missing skiers after spotting the light from their MP3 music player.
The Swiss air rescue association Rega says it received a distress call from the French tourists late Friday but the skiers' phone battery went dead before they could be reached. Rega spokesman Gery Baumann says the two men were eventually found after midnight in steep, wooded terrain by a helicopter crew that spotted the light from their digital music player.
Baumann said Saturday that the two 22-year-olds suffered only mild hypothermia despite enduring temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 15 Celsius).
On December 9, 1968, Douglas Engelbart invented a pointing device that would change everything.
It was the mouse.
In the time of Engelbart, computers were old, clunky, and had no graphical interface. That is, that you couldn't click the button for what you wanted—you had to type in the right command. Fast forward 40 years, and much has changed. There have been billions of mice sold, and computers are not only capable of a GUI, but of games, movies, and much more.
So what's next? Some say it's the motion controls brought in by the Wii. Maybe it's sensors implanted on our heads. Who knows? Only time will tell.
