I have considered, on several occasions (including very recently) of
switching my job focus to Macs.  But given how much I like them, I
have trepidation about doing so for this very reason.  I can remember
going to MacWorld 2K in SF after a particularly stressful winter at
work, and realizing that the most painful thing was that the job had
killed my joy for computers.  Shortly thereafter I switched to another
group within the company, which helped somewhat.

It's also this issue that has made me seriously consider getting out
of IT alltogether.
