I'm in a similar posiion to your dentist (except probably not as loaded)
I use both platforms at work, having to put up with a PeeCee running NT4 for most of the administrative part of my job - but the Mac has always been my personal choice for home (after all, it is
my money).
As for the 'toaster' remark - nice analogy, not condescending in the slightest
This is the kind of thing I do on my Ethernet broadband-powered G4 iMac Toaster at home:
Web and Print Graphic Design (Quark*, Illustrator FreeHand, Dreamweaver, Flash, Director etc.)
High-end Photoshop
Web development
DV editing
Audio editing
HD Music recording
MP3 Encoding
Huge macro-laden spreadsheets
PowerpPoint (eughh!)
Reading and Writing CDs/DVDs
...and it rips through the lot of 'em like a dose of the $hits!
