In my opinion, its not so much the camera, as the person using it, that's most important in terms of taking interesting photos.
A good photographer can shoot nice photos with any reasonably good camera, regardless of who manufactured it, and that includes P&S cameras. So, Rita? Are you a good photographer?

You obviously have not heard of CS3, PS Elements, Lightroom, Aperture, GraphicConverter, Gimp, PhotoGPSEditor, Capture NX, the various Nik packages & the useful, but limited iPhoto.
Linux can be run on all Macs with all that offers.
... and with the current Apple offerings there are several methods of compromising and running some variation of Window (XP, 2000, or the dreaded Vista), or all at the same time if needed. try that with your Dell.

It is ready for prime time for the computer literate. It is also ready for prime time for anybody who has a computer literate friend who can set it up for the average person. It requires very little maintenance after that and is easy to use and causes less problems for the average users.

Been like that for 15-years and will always be like that. This is why Linux will never be able to compete and has always taken a back seat to Windows.

The version of Linux I use was specifically created to make it difficult for the user to tell whether they were using Linux or MS Windows, so that secretaries etc. could easily switch systems, since they tend to be trained in MS Windows, whereas the computer scientists they support mostly use Linux. Seems to work well. I also note that some of the local system vendors and are now converting their customers to Ubuntu Linux because they say it's easier to install and support.

I tried Ubuntu (Ultimate) and didn't like the user interface. Huge icons taking a lot of space on the 1024x768 screen of my notebook for starters. Then I could not figure out how to get things done, i.e. launching applications, working with them etc.
In the end I started wondering why I should punish myself with such an operating system, which also didn't run most applications I needed (would have had to switch to the Linux counterparts which were inferior in my opinion).
Every couple of years I give a try at Linux and end up giving up. I've discussed Linux in the past years in newsgroups and received angry replies from Linux users. Been called 'wintroll' and been told 'we don't want you'.

That's just it; Apple finally got their act together and started using Intel. We PC folks have been using dual, quad, and 8-way Xeons years before Apple got a clue. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with Mac if all you want is a pretty desk top ornament. Gotta admit, that's one sweet looking case.

Now I use a PC platform running Linux. Linux is more secure, more stable, and faster than Windows albiet you have to chase down hardware drivers and be more selective of software but it is free. It is free of $$$ and free of copy protection and all of the bullshit.
That said, if I was a fan of Notebooks and the additional money did not matter much I would look at a Mac Powerbook today. I think that Mac OSX is more stable and a better OS than Windows. The main thing is cost. But under Mac you can use Gimp, Open Office, Thunderbird, and Firefox all without charge.
