Why do so many bloggers use Macs?

    Hi. I just noticed recently a lot of bloggers use Macs, especially the popular or successful ones. Why so? I don't see myself switching away from PC even if I started making more than 10k a year blogging.

    I use both. My Mac almost never crashes, is as fast as it was the day I got it, is highly intuitive/simple and allows me to have 4 work-spaces (like X Windows), so I can have a lot going on at once with one monitor.

    In a phrase, it's multi-taskingly friendly.

    My PC, on the other hand, is still a bit easier for me to use as it was what I was raised on. Also, I use the wireless mighty mouse for the Mac and that is just like using the headphones that come with your ipod -- annoying and painful.

    When blogging, I use whatever computer I'm on though, so I don't know why someone would prefer one over the other for the sole purpose of blogging. I'd venture to guess that it has something to do with the culture and the feeling that goes along with it.

    Perhaps it is because Mac is not prone to virus aside from it is very convenient for people who frequently travel
