People make these remarks, so I am going to answer them:
iMac's are all about looks anyway.
No they are not, they just helped the machine to be the fastest sold computer in the world.
Where is the floppy drive?
Mac decided that nobody uses the floppy drive anymore, no longer does software come on disks. and why the hell would you need a floppy drive when you can re-write CD's, which is now standard when you buy an iMac modified beyond belief? thats crap, no Mac needs to be modified at all to play PC games, infact all major PC games are now being released for the MacOS, and if you are so desperate to have any game then the Mac can run yes I said RUN windows as an application. WHAT WOULD THAT DO? well you can play ANY PC game or do anything a PC can do inside of the MacOS.
Microsoft and Linux have given MACOSX bad reports.
Have Sony ever wished they had the Pokemon franchise on there side? Why would Linux and Microsoft give it bad reports, could it be that mac is now outselling any microsoft in the terms of sales by 4:1, of could it be that they are jealous? Jealous? yeah jealous because Mac own Macromedia. that is Fireworks, Flash, Director, Shockwave, etc etc..... Linux report on MacOSX was the biggest load of crap I have ever read, it made me laugh, he said that it 'creates in own faults', my dad has just upgraded his blue dalmation iMac to OSX and it is the best OS I have ever used. You also said that WIndows and Linux OS's are getting better, I agree but only the case of Linux, Microsoft seem to be on the rollar coaster, after the year of 98 they had reached the top of the coaster and are now still falling back down, infact BillGates has got his umbrella out and it trying to slow the process down.
What is so good about iMacs anyway?
well then lets see without going into any detail, the come now with a CDRw, imovie2, iTunes etc.. as standard, they take a few minutes to get set up, voice reg.. to turn them on. infa-red optical fibre lenses, and in only 1 months time they will come with GeForce3 as standard, Mac is getting stuff before Microsoft, and one problem I have never had with any of the Macs I use are that it can open any kind of file without a problem, it never has illegal shutdowns.
Who do Mac have on there side?
EVERYONE in the computer industry, Epson, HP, Canon, Adobe (the big one), Norton.. etc..
Does anyone else want to make any remarks?

Yeap its probably faster then any available PC (different chip structure).
Not to both, but it is a really fast machine.

mmmmmmmm. Dos.
webmaster it was very interesting to here your point of view, the US military using AppleOS as there server. They are more secure because there is no command line on the interface, I have seen many command errors at this site on some pages when refreshing.
I think Linkux is great, compared to microsoft, Linux are brilliant.

I think a lot of times it's just a case of familiarity. Those of us who started with DOS and moved to Windows prefer PC's and those of us who started with AppleMacs prefer those.
I'm one of those people who still prefers Dos 6 to Windows 2000 Professional.

Having both a PC and an iMac on my desk I would say that they both have their good and bad points and neither crashes more often than the other. The iMac manges to gently heat the office at the same time as well. Personally though I prefer my PC and only use my iMac to interact with the rest of the company's systems.
Having said that, we used to run our website on Macs (yes it is true). At it's largest point we had a G3, G4, 7 iMacs and a couple of PC's running Windows (and that was before ukdiscussions came along). Unfortuantely they were crashing every night and we had to switch to Linux. Everything now runs happily on 5 Linux servers (discussions even has one all to itself!).
Macs - not bad desktop machines and very easy to network together. Still prefer my PC though.

I have never tried it with a PC,
with my iMac (not using it at the moment) I have the 9.99 a month as much as I want to use it Telewest account, I have a ISDN external line on the iMac and I have increased the connection to work with this, maybe Telewest just haven't checked maybe I am braking the law, but I am not going to change it, it is at home currently downloading a spoof film.
