I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
I'd rather hear some intellingent arguments rather than some very lame ones using outdated, unsupported hardware for current positions. That's just ignorant and pointless. Of course your NT 4 box is going to outperform a 8600 running OS 8.5 or 9. AND if you're running OS X on that... shame on you! Put Linux on it if you want a fair hardware comparison to that NT4. We all already know and admit that everything before OS X sucks. We dont need to be reminded. And, again, if you were talking about OS X, stop. You can't make legit comments on OS X sucking if you're not running it on recommended hardware.
Did I just get hooked by a troll?

Ok, I'll bite.
If you're porting useful software to the Mac, there's no need to give that pudgy comment about "more market share." Useful software sells on the Mac. Heck, sometimes even seemingly un-useful software sells (Konfabulator?). I don't think a small business software designer (which I assume you are) needs to worry about Apple having 5% marketshare verses 15% or 20% marketshare. You'll sell just as much either way, most likely.
Now that's pathetic acting even for Sly Stallone. Or was it the script? Must be hard to make a movie about professional arm wrestling.
Heck, either way, the movie is still strangely addictive.

something for Mac OS X that gives Quicken/Intuit a slap in the face. I'll buy it.
