So basically for my public speaking class I have to give a 7-9 minute persuasive speach, and i chose my topic to be Buying an Apple computer instead of a PC... becuase I feel i'm pretty knowledgable... I've posted my intro below, can you read through it -- then suggest some arguments to help my points? or if you feel that there are other major points i'm leaving out -- I can add them in.. Also I need 5 Sources, I believe only one of which can come from the internet.

Lead-in
Many of you have seen the Mac vs. PC commericals, or have seen Microsofts last ditch attempt to save Windows Vista with their 2Billion dollar advertising campaign. Is an Apple computer really that much better than a Windows computer? The short answer is -- yes.
Establishment of Ethos
As a user of both PCs and Macs every day I am in a unique position to come to a judgement on these pieces of hardware.
Attention Grabber
Some people will come and say, Brian, Macs are too expensive. Perhaps theyll remark, Their too confusing to use!, or I need to use windows for a program I need for work, or even I already have everything on my PC, itd be too hard to transfer it to a macintosh.
Thesis/Preview
These are some myths that I will debunk over the next few minutes. Ill show you why an Apple is a better option by explaining why the price is essentially the same, how the user interface is better, how you can still use windows, and even how easy it is to transfer your old files.
