Ben, It is just a phase she is going through, at some point in their lives, no matter how much we try, children want Macs. It isn't really their fault or yours, this is just nature.

Eventually she will grow out of this phase, she will learn her so called "Friends" who have Macs are communist spies from China. I understand that they look and talk like people from Texas, but plastic surgery has come along away, and with only a few months of voice training even someone from China can say ya'all, like they have said it all their lives. ;) At 10:50 PM 8/29/2002 +0000, you wrote: >hi gang > >Daughter in college is making noises about new 'puter. >Her existing Dell is a PII-400 <creak, groan>. > >She mentioned the "M" word <eek> - some of her >classmates have Macs and love them. > >Not sure if she wants desktop or notebook.
