While I'm not qualified to judge magic, I can verify that we've had less trouble with Apple hardware in general. Perhaps they stress test it more, or some such (might explain some of the extra cost *shrug*). There was a bad spell with monitors, but that hit all of 'em, Dell, Gateway, etc.. Faulty transistors or whatnot. (interesting story there, neh?) And from experience, slapping hardware together does not make for an optimized system. It's way better than in days gone by, but still, I don't doubt that an actual Apple system may indeed "run faster" than the "same basic parts" you put together yourself. There /are/ advantages to controlling things at that level. Also, Apple seems to really try to make that FIRST user experience with a computer a good one. PCs, historically, and to this day, have more of a hit and miss mentality. "Oh, send it back and we'll send out a new one" type deal vs. (I'm guessing) heavy initial testing before going out to the user (I don't know what else would make their hardware any more reliable than X's). I think that Apple's are way easier for the newbie, vs. a PC. What do y'all think of that one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:230996 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
