Quality isn't just longevity but that good feeling engendered by use of well made kit. Macs are screwed together in not only an aesthetically more pleasing manner but also a tactile manner. They reassure the user which to me counts for a lot.
It is the same reason a Leica can sell for $4000 when it actually does less than a $800 DSLR. How the tools we use are made is important.
If that isn't important to you then no worries, buy the plastic Dell

Same here It is nice, but if you are patient enough you can get a brand new 64-bit Acer or Gateway with Vista for under $300.00 Apple can't beat that.

For me, it's not having .NET. If somehow OSX ran .net, I would probably switch, but I haven't heard that hell froze yet, so until then I guess I'll be using Dells

Hell has frozen over:
You can run .NET on OSX (PowerPC and Intel) using Mono. Ready to switch? LoL!

Mono != .NET
If you don't trust me, run MoMA[^] on any real-life .NET application

Never had any reason to run .NET on the Mac OS myself. Apple has it's own set of development tools and frameworks that are optimized for use in it's OS. Plus, if you need .NET on the Mac...run it in Windows/Bootcamp!

If it would just run the software that I need to do my job I would switch without a thought

True. If there is a business requirement and if the instrument is able to satisfy it with a higher-rated performance, we ought to, naturally, go for the same. I vote a '5' to this.

i have a table in sql table name (receiving) with five columns
1. opening_qty
2. closing_qty
3. balanced_qty
4. item_code
5. gross_qty
i have second table in sql table name (issue) with
1. issued_qty
2. item_code
in project when we receive an item then its qty automatically adds opening qty and when we issue the same item then calculate balanced qty and now calculate closing qty.
for ex.
date opening_qty receiving_qty issue_qty closing_qty
1/11/2007 0 20 kg 10 kg 10 kg
1/11/2007 10 kg 0 kg 5 kg 5 kg
1/11/2007 5 kg 2 kg 0 kg 7 kg
2/11/2007 7 kg 0 kg 7 kg 0 kg
that is the format for calculating balances
i want to do these calculations in vb6.0 code

I do not own one, but I've played around with Apple PCs for a bit a while ago. Its cool, sexy, and whatnot. But its just..lacking. IMHO, as much as we all bash MS' Windows, its a lot more polished, a lot more user (and developer) oriented. I just don't get the same feeling when working on an Apple PC.

Is that because it is alien to us? Wouldn't Apple users feel fish-out-of-water when they use a standard Microsoft Windows desktop?

I had an opportunity to play around with MAC-OS laptops when during my onshore assignment to TX. A few of the good things are:
1) Just a single-button mouse
2) Cool desktop (or does it look cool because of the first-time view )
3) "An apple a day keeps doctor away" -- Lesser security vulnerabilities and more resilent OS to keep off from unwanted technical support calls and computer downtime.
But the downside is that MAC OS systems are pretty costly compared to a standard Windows desktop, other parameters remaining constant. Isn't it?
