My first Windows machine was a Mac II in 1988. OS was more stable than Windows at the time and it served me well. I still have both here in the home office. Older macs are a bargain since they're reliable and easy to maintain with the kids beating on them. I use Windows for work and play. My favorite here at home is my Color Classic that I picked up cheap at a swap meet. Small footprint and has a Triniton monitor. It stays on top of my bookcase as an e-fish tank(After dark screen saver). Occasionally I use it for satellite tracking too. Other than that,

I don't get into the Mac/PC hyperbole. Each of us has made up their minds and nothing is going to change that.
