I think she wanted it yesterday. ;-)....$4000 text editors on $1000 hardware. What's the world coming to. :-) >Ralph, let me put this in a way that YOU can really understand. >After all, how can you justify paying $2000 for a PC when you could >get a 30gb iB2 600mhz combo with 600mb (1 gig?-does it take that >much?) ram. The thought has crossed my mind...particularly with what folks are staying paying for 2400/G3's on eBay. If the iBook list didn't seem like a playground compared to the great people here, maybe I would have moved already. ;-) Actually, I could get her a laptop and an iPod...she's the music freak in the house. Then I'd have to buy an iBook to support it. (That's a problem I can easily solve.) > Inthat case you could even run VPC4/NT on a ram disk with this proprietary >"text" editor. Who the heck should be using anything that proprietary these >days??? Or buy a cheap PC and a 500 mhz iB2 on the same budget.
