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)?
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 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.
