Macs (A Treatise on Suck)
It's been written before, but not yet by me. Macs still suck. I own a few G4s running OS X, and the operating system is (finally) nice. But please, Apple, get over the one button mouse religion. People can still opt to use only one mouse button if they want, but it's a royal pain to have to reach for the keyboard constantly to perform operations that are better done with a right mouse click. Yes, I know I can purchase a different USB mouse. Fine for a desktop, not fine for a portable. And for the portable Macs, please, please, a trackpoint. Oh, and the keyboards (generally) suck, too.
Mac has another selling point. Digital forensics software for examination of Macs running OS X is far more limited than for other platforms (at least as I write this), so if you're gonna do bad things, Mac is the platform for you.
All that said, I am a wild supporter of people using Macs, because Windows sucks, too. But the keyboard on my Thinkpad is dreamy.
