I own a bunch of old Macs. I have a 7300 here I'm emailing on. And I do
lotsa things with it. Things I wouldn't on a PC. Because I hate the hassle of parallel ports, serial port doo doo with certain peripherals, USB that
doesn't work right. The BIOS. Yeaaghh. IRQ settings. DMA. Sound cards that clash with USB mice.
That is pretty accurate description of what is wrong with pc's alright. Even with XP MS didn't solve these problems. If you buy a standard pre configured pc like most people do, you're pretty save as long as you don't change anything from the inside. A good support staff helps to.
Stick with macs boys, they're made for you.
I've got one sound card that needs enteries like Jeff has described only to run on win3.11 or dos.
Its one of the silliest things I've read here in a while, stick with what you know.
It wasn't until the Mac decided to use more PC-oriented components that it's been REALLY problematic.
Umm, yeah, whatever. While a G5 floats your boat. ;) Thanks for the laugh.
