When my iLust threatened to burst out of my trousers I cured it with Dell. I bought a Dell Vostro 3700 which has identical hardware specs to the top MacBook Pro of the time, except for the resolution, which is somewhat better on the Mac. The Dell is also not carved out of a single block of aluminium, a feature that never really climbed very high on my list of priorities I must say. On the other hand, the Dell was less than half the price of the Mac. Now that Macs are Unix boxes running on Intel hardware there isn't enough to distinguish them from PCs to make them worth spending the extra money on in my opinion, unless one is very, very concerned about the way the things look. The Macs, especially the iMacs, are very beautiful and much better looking than any PC I'm aware of. But ask any of my girlfriends - looks don't matter much, it's performance that counts*. Bob *I should put that on a t-shirt and sell it to ugly people. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
