 Ouch. I failed to mention that Apple had to replace the motherboard twice on that thing because of a modem issue. Needless to say that was before the concept of "plug and play" peripherals became a reality instead of a wish. I'm no Mac salesperson, but if the money is there and the application you need fits (I'm about 90% multimedia/web/ graphics/DTP), I'd say try again at some point.

Yep. It was that Powerbook 180c that after about six months became slower than a sloth if you tried to do anything more complicated than e-mail on it.  

LOL! Too true! And we thought we were so pimp because we had a laptop. It kinda put me off studying/practicing computer graphics because it couldn't handle anything worthwhile in Photoshop.
 
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

Macs have a great reputation among designers for sure. It probably helps that they operate much more intuitively for us spacey-artist types. I'm longing for the days of "just tell me where to click" Macs now that I'm having to really roll up my sleves and figure out all this computer black magic for real.
And they sure are purty...

As a graphic designer, and as someone who's used both Macs and PCs, I prefer the PC. Using a Mac for graphics work used to be a necessary evil. Now you can do anything on a PC you could do on a Mac, and it will probably end up costing you a lot less. And if you're like me, and enjoy building and upgrading your own systems, the choice is obvious.

  My only major gripe is that Microsoft needs a strong competitor, because their products are often the suck but finding a viable alternative is tough.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

 [a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/"]Unbuntu[/a] (free) is gearing up to be a legitimate competitor. Stick [a href="http://www.openoffice.org/"]OpenOffice[/a] on it (free) and 98% of the population would be able to do everything they need to on a PC.

Cool! I need to try that.

  There are actually plenty of non-Microsoft options, but I'm almost maxed out on my hard drives-I never thought I'd fill 200GB of storage   :0

  I need to score another data drive and then bite the freaking bullet. Of course, it's not like I pay for Microsoft products...

Try   the [a href="https://shipit.ubuntu.com/"]Unbuntu Live CD[/a], you can boot and run Unbuntu from the CD and it won't make any changes to your hard drive. It's specifically designed to let people try it out safely. It boots faster from the CD on my machine than Win XP does from the hard drive. And they'll even mail it to you for free: [a href="https://shipit.ubuntu.com/"]https://shipit.ubuntu.com/[/a]

Who does? I know MCSEs who won't buy it.
