    ummm.



    I don't have any idea what you are trying to get at. it's a matter of personal preference, sort of like why some people like rotary engines while others insist that "beaters" are better.

    Well it can be true, if you are more comfortable in your environment you will make better stuff. Like writing in a dark closet vs. on top of a mountain. Although I guess it depends what you are writing

    Creative types tend to gravitate toward Macs.



    Plus, a writer using a Mac is much less likely to have her 500 page book obliterated by a virus.

    Douglas Adams was a huge Mac evangelist.



    Typically authors want something that looks nice and does the job without interfering with the creative flow. Doesn't sound like a Dell to me...
