I refer you to my last post on the Cheap Alloys thread  

Kaine, I was always anti mac, but when my ailing pc was needing replacement I passed an apple shop. I asked lots of questions around the use of XP as most of the work software is only pc compatible. I ended up buying a imac 24' jobby with Fusion. XP runs in the background when I'm working and it works very very well. It was difficult to begin with but it is a lot more intuitive (but not perfect)I have to say I don't think I would go back, I can have my cake and eat it (there you go shmoogle I've got you hooked now, by mentioning cakes!)

If you're buying one to play with look in apple's outlet you can get good discounts. DS3 TDV6 HSE
Silver with Alpacca

I did consider missing out the two part, but thought I'd be honest

Choux buns!

I've just had chinese takeaway, I'd like to say it was a case of eyes bigger than my belly, but no...  

Yes, I've just finished off a chinese take-away too.
