Mac is for designers... graphic designers at that. Every other use of
Mac is a waste of money.

(this is my opinion and not a flame war igniter).

Anyway, as a multiplatform DBA, I've found windows XP works very good.
A good linux, well configured would work as well. I don't like MacOSX
and I never will like Apple products, It's the incompatibility of
linux with the closedness of windows... the worst of two worlds.
Specially for savvy users.
