Yes and no, Zack. It's true that a MAc will not catapult you and Ben to the next level of existence. However, stop and think: if you don't need antivirus software on the MAC side, doesn't that enable more diverse "surfing"? And diverse surfing is part of the family destiny (as foretold in the prophecy), if I recall...
In the end, though, none of it will interfere with your unusual lifestyle choices, which is what counts. Consider, the last Windows wrench who visited Mum was a VERY unconvincing tranny, all of which is fine, so long as nobody soils the rugs, of course, but which led to some fun chuckles shared by old Mum and myself. She too lives windows side, you see. That said, I could probably come up with a vegan, a cross dresser, two dyslexics, an animal "lover" and a functional cripple if I head to the mall and visit the Mac store. I mean, who really wins that one?
So, in the end, yes, you mibght spend a couple of hundee extra Mac side. But if you can somehow feel morally superior over it, isn't it worth the price?
I once saw a fat woman driving a Lexus 450h with the bumper sticker, "Got Air?" on it. How much do you reckon was the incremental cost of that bit of smug harumphing?
All of which is to say, I get it, as I type this form a Dell laptop. I alos get the ease of use/no security/flexibility thing, which are real, as opposed to purely emotional advantages.
