Add me to that list.  I run an iMac at work and at home I have a MacBook Pro. 
I love the MacBook!  I even run Windows XP on it in a virtual window when I 
need to do cross-platform testing.  So handy.  Having Apache, PHP, MySQL all on 
one sexy piece of hardware with an amazing GUI and the ability to run Windoze 
when necessary is invaluable to me.  I cannot believe how long it took me to 
switch to Macs.  Best thing I ever did.
