Macs are great. I've worked on many a Mac and I like em. Matter of fact, it's the first computer I ever laid my hands on (graphic artist here). That being said, I find that Macs are most appropriate in the workplace. I prefer to have a PC at home because, as you said, there is limited compatibility for the Mac as far as a lot of popular programs and games and because there is greater hardware compatibility. That is however a personal choice ;o).

Hey, I remember the day when it was the other way around and you could get programs for the Mac that didn't even exist for PC. How times change ;o).
