Wow that's cool. Yeah I will get one in the future. Can you give me your number off list for when I do get one? Cause like I said I well get one, I don't need 2 PC's I would rather have 1 Vista PC and a MAC with Leopard.

If missing e-mails is your only main concern then give yourself two hours and call me and I will get you through it.In two hours I can just about guarantee you will be up and running with mail and basic navigation. I have learned more than I have ever did about a Mac in 3 months than in 10 years on Windows machines. It is easy and fun once you wrap your head around it. I would buy a copy of Windows and with the money you save buy more RAM, faster processor or a bigger hard drive. This is coming from a Windows fan of 15 or so years.
