Mac users in/went to college Options

How many of you are mac users who used a mac through college, did you wish you had a pc? Im personaly a pc guy, but im highly considering selling my pc and buying a mac laptop for college *15" powerbook*.

I'm also a Mac + PC user. I love them both and I can't live missing either one of them.

PC:
1.) GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES
2.) Fast (result of it being easy to upgrade, lots of available parts, and cheap)
3.) IE, Opera, Netscape, Firefox, Mozilla (With all hypes about how good Firefox is, most user STILL use Win's IE. It's definitely a MUST to have one laying around to check your HTML code.)
4.) GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES GAMES!!!
5.) OHHH WEEEE GAMES GAMES GAMES!!!! (k imah stop.. u should get my point..)

Mac:
1.) Web Developing (OSX is built on Unix, I can have Apache/PHP/MySQL and lots of server things running on this box. Very convnience when doing database work. Note: I later found out WinXP supports PHP and MySQL too, let me know if I'm wrong.)
2.) Graphic Design (Even though the processor is clocked at a much slower speed than my PC (1.2GHz vs 2.8GHz, 1GB ram vs 1GB ram), the mac is a lot faster switching between huge programs and a lot faster when handling large files like PSD files.. etc.)
3.) For School (Cal Poly teaches Java, which is awesome because OSX is built on Unix with its own shell that could natively compile and run Java, instead of having to download compiler like Borland or J++ or telnet whatever. Thumbs down for all you PC users suckers!!! hahahaha!)
4.) Organizer (iCal, iPhoto, Addressbook, Mail, iTunes... they help u get things organized)
5.) Virus Free (Note: not like mac doesn't get attack, it's more like the mac community is so tiny that hackers don't even mind attacking the macs.) But that's a YAY for the macs, nay for the PC.
6.) Internet (due to #5, surfing web, and downloading illegal music is BEST on the Mac without much worries)

I have the 15" PowerBook (Had a 12" but sold for 1000$). Whenever I open that baby, people look at me admire at the glowing apple logo. It's an awesome feeling.
