I know some people who are obsessed with the Pippin. Why not just get a real Mac (and by real I mean Quadra or OS9 iMac, not this OSX baby crap)?

I've always wanted a Pippin.  Never bothered to spend the money to get one, though.

OSX baby crap?  Sounds like the king of talking trash is back. Undecided  The one question you should ask yourself before putting everything down: do you even know what you're talking about?

Honestly, I never understood the "apple versus PC" fighting.  I generally don't care too much for the fact that I have to buy everything from Apple, but aside from that, they are all right.  I like my three older macs (a macintosh SE, a Power Mac 6500, and an iMac DV-SE), and I am planning on getting a mac mini when I get some money, so that I can learn about them, increasing my job opportunities.

I'm not trash talking, I would just rather have everything harder with visible pixels rather than shiny one-click things.

OSX is a fine operating system, even with its more hardcoded quirks and pretty terrible Finder (which KDE or Gnome on Linux also has with abundance too sadly).

I saw a gentleman who went by the name icculus, give a speech onetime about gaming and all the different OS's. He mainly takes popular Windows titles and ports them to Linux. He did Doom, Wolfenstein, Unreal 2004, Quake 3 and a bunch of others. He said that with Mac and Linux, if they got the games first like UT3 instead of Windows, you would see Linux and or Mac over take Windows.

I used to not like Mac back in the day. That was before I understood the inner workings of Unix and Linux. The more I mess with Macs the more I want one and to be honest the only thing that turns me off is the price.

If you get a Mac Mini tell me how it goes. I'm thinking maybe next year getting a Macbook Pro.
