Your Mac knowledge seems a bit outdated, maybe that's why you can't understand that recommending a Mac for someone building a portable studio is hardly the shocking outrage that you seem to think it is. Some examples:


* All the Open Source software you mention (Gimp, OpenOffice, Lilypond) runs on Mac OS X
* iPhoto and the Gimp do entirely different things (maybe you meant Photoshop (elements?) for the Mac or F-Spot for Gnome?) Not that it really matters given point one above and the fact that iPhoto is bundled with new Macs.
* Macs do not cost double the price of brand name PCs.
* Mac Office is generally considered to be better than the PC version (and so was Mac Internet Explorer before it was abandoned). Period. End of discussion :-)


Hopefully your comments about audio software have more substance.
