Get the macintosh mug.1. Coolest computers ever, made by Apple (www.apple.com)
2. Personal computers that can't run the Windows OS natively (which is a good thing)

Get the Macintosh mug.The Macintosh is an OS that's optimum for digital photography and graphic design, like Photoshop, for animation, like Flash, and for video editing and publishing, like Final Cut. Great OS for artists and the like. Gets a bad rap over Windows because of it's sheer simplicity, but does turn out to have the upper hand for what you want to use it for.
Not too many games are made for the OS, but if you want to play games, get a Windows. If you're into doing graphical work, use a Mac.
Not too many viruses exist that affect a Mac, but many do for a Windows OS. But who's fault is that?
So if you're into doing some animation, photo manipulation, video and film editing, music editing, and graphic design, get a Mac. If you want to do nothing but number crunch and write papers after papers, guy a Windows. And if you want to play video games, buy a fucking Xbox or something.

Person 1: "I've been working on this cartoon for about two years now, and my hard drive fried!"
Person 2: "You should've been working on a Macintosh. They've got one hell of a graphics card!"
Person 1: "Really? FUCK!"

Get the Macintosh mug.A Un-Reliable computer that frequently freeze's up, and screws up all of your work...
Also doesn't have any games, and the only ones they do have, suck... (Except for a few...)
Even though it has its downs, this compute is excellent with drawing/movie software.
But the bottom line is, don't get a Macintosh

Get the Macintosh mug.A very controversial platform introduced by Apple back in '85. Some love it, most hate it. The general consensus is that you can't do ANYTHING with them. I'll admit outright that a factory shipped apple computer lacks the ability to run games. But for those who don't play games, it's not a loss. And the platforms secure Unix core and lack of popularity make it a rare target for hackers and viruses. Not to mention that the previous PowerPC based generations were true monsters. The RISC based computers were oh so easy to program. And reached real world results that are hard to achieve on the x86 platform. Needless to say, my respect for that platform dropped exponentially since the advent of Intel based Macs. But the simple intuitive GUI makes up for the hardware drawback. It's Unix roots hold several advantages over other Os's on the market. If anything, the lack of a registry and no Dll's are the Unix system's biggest forte. All I can say, is that I've been using my 68k based Mac Plus, PowerPC based Powerbook 1400c, Power Mac G4 and Powerbook G4 happily for years. I do own a PC, but it's pretty pokey sometimes and has to be whiped clean every year. When I need a huge library of programs, than i'll whip out my Hp Mini, for something zippy and simple, my Macintoshs reign supreme. It's all a matter of what you want to do.
PowerPC Macintosh computers= Fast, simple.
x86= Far more common, overly complex, once used Netburst, and that's bad enough.
