In words of the Wise One: D'Oh!!

Silly me for not including that part of things!

My primary interest is just to add a Mac to my "stable".  I have
Solaris, Linux, *bsd, and Windows systems at home, but no Macs.  I
don't foresee any particularly intensive usage, mostly just to have
some exposure/experience with the system.

In part, I'd like to be able to answer the question "should I switch
to a Mac" when asked by a friend, which I can't right now.
