I have two IBM Thinkpads, and it has never given me any problem except IBM/Hitach drive I don't trust so I replace the internal drives the day I receive laptop, both Mac and PC. Up until Seagate made 2.5", all of my laptop drives had been Toshiba. IBM support is quite good too. It would be really disappointing if IBM is really giving up on hardware division all together.
I deal with fair amount of both Mac and PC. In the end, PC is not that cheaper than Mac. You are paying for what it is. Decent PC costs as much as Mac, y'know. DELL seems to be popular and attractive. I have one myself, but I don't recommend to anyone. It's just that DELL's business model is really nasty, not to mention their support is terrible. P.S. I just setup DELL Precision 370 for WinXP-JP for my client. To my very surprise, WinXP does not contain STAT driver. NTLoader reports possible virus attach?! Totally by luck, I peaked at BIOS and found ATA combi mode to fool the XP installer. One word. Mac is much easier to deal with. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
