I've never owned a Mac, never *really* used one for more than 15 minutes at a time. And never really wanted to. Always considered Jobs a bit odd (ok, maybe more than a bit). We are slowly fazing them out at work. There isn't much software available for them (our apps at work won't run on them), and the design of the hardware is a bit too flashy for my tastes. I can also typically buy 3 IBM clones for every 2 Apples. You also have to consider the future of the company, with such a small market share, I'll admit to wondering about how long they will be around.
With all that said:
Ever since OSX came out, I've been trying to figure out a way to get on on my desktop at work to play with. If it runs the Apps you want to run, I'd do it. The couple I've used I've been impressed with. I wish I could do it myself. I'm considering purchasing one as a server, but when I compare the price / features to the linux servers I run, I don't see much point. I'm still thinking about it tho. I just need a good reason.
I'd do it, if it meets your needs.
