unlike P&S cameras where lens elements can be moved to provide macro capabilities, slr lenses cannot do this (lens elements only move for zooming and focusing, but there is only one possible configuration at each focal length and distance (most p&s cameras can superimpose normal shooting in macro mode, but infinity is lost).
I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
