Coming from a tech support point of view... A PC - You say you have used all the programs, your familiar with it and you'll find you get more enjoyment out of it quicker. Also with a PC there are more options for configuration without having to learn scripting. You'll also find that if you have an issue, you'll have a lot of previous knowledge to help you sort it. A Mac - Never really used one and when you did you found it frustrating and counter-intuitive. This is probably going to be because of the amount of use of a PC you have had, you'll have to go through unlearning everything about PCs and relearning everything for a Mac, then you'll find you may have issues here or there, which due to your limited knowledge will become more frustrating and harder to solve. From this I can see no advantage of buying the Mac for your needs, you have al the software you have all the knowledge you'll need for the PC and none of the frustration of learning the Mac OS. Personally im a PC person, but i do love playing on a Mac...i highly doubt i would buy a Mac i just find them to limiting and over priced for what you get.
