It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

A fantastic and intelligent article. Well done.
Personally- I made the jump to Apple a few years ago- I was flirting with the idea of running Apple hardware / Software for quite some time.
Now I run a Graphic design department which has just been upgraded from G3 and G4 systems to single processor G5 systems. Add that to my freelance Studio which I just upgraded from Windows XP systems to a Dual 1.8 G5 as my main workhorse, and an old G3 iMac which I use as a server- and I must say, I can't remember why I lived with windows inefficiency for so long.
I too am not particularly interested in Apple's marketshare etc. The only point of interest for me personally is I am achieving a high level of work using these tools and having a helluva time doing so
Bottom line; imo If your time is worth money, try Apple.
