I suspect you had a Mac in the pre-second coming of Jobs era. They totally lost the plot on one version of the old OS, just like Microsoft does every now and then, with Windows. In fact, it was one of those times that made me start looking at Macs, because I was spending more time re-booting Windows than working. My wife had never used a Mac when I passed her my 15" PowerBook - now, like me, she uses both systems happily, except we both swear at Outlook when it loses stuff.
The new Mac Pro looks interesting, but, unless I got heavily into video, I couldn't see that I'd use all that computing power. My last-generation 27" iMac does what I need for stills work, although faster is always better, because PhotoShop chews up processor time, but I'm not going to upgrade that while Adobe insists on its rental/cloud policy.
