Macs are more secure and are less of a headache than windows. I have both
and I prefer Macs. They gives us less greif and one gets more done rather
than dealing with some OS bug.

For Squeak, I don't think it makes a difference. I wanted a Powerbook,
because I like Mac OS X, but the price for a decent (1400x1000) screen
where horrendous for powerbooks, so I bought a very powerful (3.2GHz
P4HT, 1G RAM) pc laptop with the hi res screen for a lot less money.

If money's not an issue, a Mac might be the nicer alternative ;)
