i love this thread. i'm looking for a camera and i recently jumped over to Mac. i was so tired of having to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows to get it going fast again. i went so far as to have a laptop that i refused to install any programs onto it to avoid the inevitable slowdown. it didnt work. i was always chasing possible viruses, etc. my computer always felt like an exercise in binge and purge dieting. then i made the jump to an iMac... it just works all the time. it doesn't get bogged down over time. since then i think i have replaced every windows-like device. the router(time-capsule), laptop, phone(iphone). i'm definitely one of them now. the thing is, i used to like fiddling with my computer now i just want to be able to sit down and have a pleasant computing experience. it will never be for everyone but those who try it will take their kool-aid in an IV drip.
i also want a camera to mount to my boat just cuz it looks so cool and i want evidence of this cool sport before i'm too old to do it any more. gopro, contour, sanyo... i like the options. now only if apple would make a camera...........
