Been using windows since i was 10, but i'm going to university in a few months and i was planning on buying a 12" ibook g4(or a the latest version if it comes out anytime soon). So could someone please tell me why i should enter the preverbial "white garden". plus, minus of the os, hardware etc. Basically i want someone to "sell me" on macs, lol.

OS X rocks. It gets better each major release.

No virus or malware worries yet.

All the software you need for most stuff comes with it - AppleWorks and iLife. Though high end stuff lacks AppleWorks for some inexplicable reason.

iBooks are tough.

And of course, to make it relevant, you can run OS X friendly Apple IIgs emulation on them very nicely.
