I would suggest IBM.

Does the Mac have a serious future? I'm not trying to be rude... just
remember how fast things change in the computer world. Do you really
want to invest the time, headache, money to master a MAc and build up
a library of software, when one day you may have to chnge to IBM?

The 'problems' of using an IBM are overstated. The 'ease' of using a
Mac are overstated.

I taught computing for many years, have looked at this issue hard, as
I was responsible for equipment purchase. I didn't get complaints from
employers.

Good luck!

Tom
