[QUOTE="DBK, post: 2128791, member: 4088"] The only question I would ask myself before buying a new machine would be: do I play games? Answer: no. Result: I buy another Mac. I use 3 PC's from 1.6-2.4ghz, and am frequently playing Mr. Fix it with my sister's 1.8ghz 1gb Pentium notebook. I also have a Powerbook. Everything I do is better on the Mac. People tout this bullshit line that "if you want to have a job blar blar" you need a PC. Ah, no. I use Excel and Word everyday, and the performance is superior on my technically slow ass Powerbook than it is on the baddest PC we have. I prefer using Safari to surf the internet to IE. Spyware, viruses, are a non issue. I'm running at least 5 applications at all times, and it virtually never even slows, let alone kicks the bucket. All the stuff normal humans do(i.e word processing, email, internet, video, audio, photos) is just as good and better. If you need some very specific software, of course it can't compete because it's not the jack of all trades an XP machine is. I just installed a wireless printer/fax/copy and put it up for share on our wireless network. Not one, but TWO, of the PC's experienced catastrophic failures during the installation process. When I finally did get them running, the vastly technically superior PC's took roughly 40 minutes to run the install disk and setup. I loaded the Mac disc, and the powerbook was up and running in under ten minutes. I never have to go searching for drivers or patches blah. It just works, to paraphrase the hippies at Mac advertising. It's not my job to put tape on my glasses and say "well the architecture of the rhombus module's knutsen flabia is laughable on a mac compared to an overclocked PC running a cached tron valve." I don't give a ****. I want whatever works and the Mac has proved to be not only usable, but gasp, actually pleasing to work with. I never say that about my PC. When my PC finally bites the dust, which it will, I will certainly be buying another Mac. [/QUOTE]
