Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Actually I wouldn't want anything bigger, and I'm used to working on 21" monitors for Photoshop. There's also very good video editing software available. But make sure that you jam that sucker full of RAM, Macs need it.
The only downside that you're going to find is that very infrequently you'll find a file or website that just won't work. It's pretty rare though.

My uncle swears by his, still to this day. It's around five years old or so (I think, but I can't confirm that for sure) and he's never really had any problems with it. So it sounds like it might be a viable option.
I still prefer Windows based systems, but that's because I grew up with them and understand them. If I had grown up with Macs, I'm sure I'd be a fan for life.

I've used both quite extensively, PC's until college, then Macs, then back to PC's, then back to Macs, and I'm just a big fan of the Mac OS. It never lets me down like Windows does. The thing is just solid, and once you figure out how to navigate in it, you just can't understand why Windows can't be more like it.
Although I've heard that Vista stole a lot from Mac OS navigation, but I can't confirm that because I haven't used it.

If you go Windows-based make sure you can get XP-pro
I personally dont like Macs and think they are just overpriced, especially since Windows is the standard virtually everywhere you go. I tried using a Mac once and had no idea what I was doing. i just didnt like it

The most stable Windows OS is 2003 server without a doubt. If you're into computers...setting up a server to have at home is a great way to go- you can have it handle all those boring tasks:storage, streaming,etc. It also keeps logs of everything, so you can keep up if anyone is messing with your PC. If you get into it, you can deploy packages to other PCs on your home network,etc.

That sounds pretty cool

Okay, now I'm seeing a pattern: First, Windows 1 was stolen from Apple. Then Windows 95 was stolen. And now all the Mac fanboys are saying Vista is as well.Autobot032 wrote:My cousin complained about Vista's widget bar and interfaces being swiped from MacOS.

Huh. Didn't know I had one of those.Autobot032 wrote:But let's face it, what hasn't been stolen in this industry?
A games library.
Counterpunch wrote:Hey ya'll,
Since my laptop was stolen recently and I'm going to have insurance money soon, I'm looking for advice on laptop computers.
I'm looking to spend about $1000. I don't see myself needing a machine which would be more powerful than something in that price range. A MacBook is likely the most costly thing I'd look to.
So, what's good right now? What's a good deal? How has yours treated you? What sucks?
Much obliged.
(oh, and I primarily use the laptop for remote internet, documentation of pictures and text, and movies. I may try to do some video editing this coming year, I don't know...)
