I would definitely consider a mac. I've been considering a mac. My wife has indicated that she may possibly give me the green light early next year (40th birthday). I'm weighing the options.
The biggest reason I didn't want a mac to begin with was the lack of software available. now that you can run windows on a mac via parallels or vmware, that issue has been addressed. i'm just weighing whether or not it's worth spending the extra $ so i can run windows on a mac :) i know you hate dell, but i gotta tell you. i'm working on a dell laptop that i bought in april of 2005. i bought it on a whim, as a second computer (had a desktop already). it was a good deal (well under $1k) and i figured it'd serve it's purpose as an extra machine. well, my wife's desktop died, so i ended up giving her mine, and moving to the dell full time. it's not particularly robust (but remember... it wasn't originally purchased as a powerhouse machine). but i gotta tell ya... i've been using it as a full time machine for about 2 years now, and i have no complaints. i don't have issues with it locking up or getting viruses and i'm pretty darn productive. So i've been weighing whether or not i want a mac just so i can play with the "cool kids" :) If I had the problems that you and others have had on windows and dell machines, i'm sure i'd be thinking differently. hey i had a dodge once that was a POS. I'll never -ever- buy a dodge again. but there are people who buy dodges every day and don't have problems. whatever works for you works for you. I posted the link 'cuz it was funny. You're the one that jumped in with the attacking and name calling. Why's it so hard for you to accept that, while you may have had a really bad experience with windows, that not everybody else has? You badmouth windows and MS and dell and don't understand why people get upset. Yet, I post one link... a link that's obviously meant to be funny, and you start with the name calling. What's up with that? :) On 8/28/07, Dave l <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I seem to recall you saying to me not that long ago: > "if i could get a new computer I would get a mac..." > > > > > > > >no kill. just sharing a link that everyone but you seemed to enjoy. > > > >and mine was funnier :) > > > > > >> > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:241513 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
