Re: game over

[Jane Jordan (gmail)]

To bl blunt, much as I love my Mac, it *doesnot* do everythikng I  
want it to do.  I *still* have to use Windows for somethings.  So  
yes, I am in strong support of it.  Windows users have to take  
responsibility for making sure viruses don't get onto their systems.   
The same will apply if anyone gets a Mac that can dual reboot.   
Common Sense.

Well, as someone who switched from the PC and Windows to the Mac I  
am left wondering why I would want to even bother with this.  Sure,  
there might be a few things I can more easily do on a Windows based  
PC that are more difficult on a Mac but this just sounds dumb to  
me.  I see the point made here that VR agencies and others might go  
for this but aren't you making your beautiful Mac sesuptable to the  
very problems we are so proud that our Macs are free of.  Viruses,  
worms and the like.  While my Mac is pre-intel by a month or two,  
there is no way in hell I would put Windows XP on one if I had  
one.  Sounds very strange that anyone on this list would support  
this.  Sure, it was a neat contest to hack the Windows and Intel  
Mac system and I'd try it too if I had the ability and be happy if  
I walked away with the $13,000 prize that was out there.  But, its  
been done and so what.  I'm just not sure why you would do this at  
all.

Yes, but if you buy a mini, the audio output will need suplementing.
Pdcs often come with good speakers.

It all depends on how well you keep it up-to-date with security.

I can see states buying these new Macs for their clients, because
they get the best of both worlds at that point.  Maybe we covered
this ground before, I forget.  But if it truly proves reliable ..
just buy a Mac Mini maxed out, get Windows XP, install it all and
there you go.  And a scanner and printer.  They would pay about the
same or less than if they just bought a straight-up Windows computer,
and get twice as much, I would think.
