If like me you have to test your work for the mass market (that means windows) and cater for the majority (yes, that means IE6 & 7) but you are of more discerning tastes and don't enjoy viruses, malware and endless updates (in other words, you don't use windows) then you probably use a Mac (yes I do!).

Before we start, LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP and yes I know Macs aren't Linux based, but FreeBSD is a flavour of Unix so it's close enough! Having recently recieved my lovely new work Macbook Pro and have been setting it up for some serious PHP & MySQL development.
