BTW I tried a Mac for several months with an open mind, but because of the way I use a computer, it was not a good fit.

Neither is inherently better or worse.

I spent a pretty penny on a Samsung 25.5" 1600x1440 LCD a few years back. Will be replacing the desktop in the coming months, with no plan on replacing the monitor. So to answer your question, not necessarily.

Yep, and 95% of people who prefer using a mouse will prefer a Mac, while 95% of people who prefer a keyboard/Excel/numbers stuff will prefer a PC.

Correlation is correlation, bro.

Yes they can. Apple mice have had right-click since 2005. I'm not a fan of Apple's mice, though, so I use a Logitech Performance MX which has all programmable buttons you could want.

I have to admit, the more I use my iPod Touch, the more tempted I am to get an iPhone. I'm just concerned about reception and having the same business (email/Outlook sync'ing) funtionality as my B-berry.
