I am considering purchasing a mac and being a novice as far as the mac is 
concerned, I am looking for any information on the following areas (or
pointers to information, eg. books or articles)
  - overview (what it can and can't do with what they give you)
  - internals (how is it as a hackers machine and what kinds of info
	on the guts is available, etc.)
  - software available (good, cheap programs (especially C compilers and
	the like)
  - cost analysis (what is the cheapest you've seen what and where).
  - general reactions (what are you happy/unhappy with)
  - misc. (e.g. buy/don't buy two drives, 512k, etc.)
I will post summary of information received to net.  thanks.
