If you have a digital camera and/or camcorder or an interest in creating music, they enable you do to pretty amazing stuff with a very small learning curve. That coupled with the fact that you don't have to worry about spyware and viruses make it a compelling choice these days. Oh, and I noticed on the Incredibles DVD that Pixar's animators are using Macs now. There's actually a photo of one using a G5 here: http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=19658. Renderman has been ported to OS X as well. [ Edited by: Hot Lava on 2005-05-07 00:11 ]
