Absolutely. I do, however, take into the account the mac isn't for everyone 
either because they don't want the learning curve or most importantly it's too 
expensive for them. I was one of the lucky ones to be able to finance for a mac 
in one go and I love it especially now I use it full time and use Windows 
inside a virtual machine created in Vmware Fusion.
