OK, you have to get a mac! ive had mine for a year (macbook pro) and it has NEVER crashed, ever, its easy to use, clean and fun. I can get you some tech info if you need it. but also, if you want to run windows, you can. I did the “bootcamp” so basically I split the hard drive, all i have to do is switch back and forth if I want to be on Windows (which i have to, to work) and bootcamp is extremely easy to do yourself, hell I did and i cant do chit LOL. the mac is pretty too, very, and when your on the mac side if u do the bootcamp, even your keyboard lights up, too cool! i was in the apple store the other day and could not believe that size of the screens for their desktops, they were HUGE! everyone that i have ever known taht got a mac, has loved it. also, ive had the windows side of my computer get infected twice by a trojan, and crash once since i have had it in a year, the mac side, was completely fine, and the computer dude that fixed it, said.. yano you should stay on the mac side of that thing LOL. also you can upgrade your mac for free.. not like when you have xp and have to go buy vista. the apple store will do this for you. apple also has wonderful tech support if you need it. the built in webcam is awesome as well. now if you decide on a pc, i have to rec. the new acer.. its going to cost you as much as a mac, but well worth it, comes with the built in cam, and 1gb as well. hit me up if ya have any ?’s

Apple, Apple, Apple. All the way - I might be a little swayed by Darron. We have no bugs. I mean, computer bugs.

I bought the Toshiba laptop (with Vista, which I LOVE) and it performs really well. I would now prefer to have gotten a Macbook. It’s more of a creative platform than a work one.

OH, I forgot to say I remember the Mork and Mindy Lunch box…I had an Evil Knievel one. How funny is that? Of course YOU may be too young to remember that.

Interesting comments….but it sounds like the decision is split. Basically, I bet there are pros and cons to both. I’ve only used PCs and not a MAC - I ddin’t know the differences either. I do know some days I LOVE my Dell computer and sometimes I want to travel to India to personally STRANGLE the Dell service reps!!! So….I don’t know what to tell ya in that regard.

I have that IPOD and I love it!!! I take it to the gym with me or walking. I haven’t downloaded anything from the internet to it yet though…I’ve only downloaded from CDs I already have. Michael Schultze is a great suggestion. Love his music! I love the Hairspray soundtrack too!!!

Our son just got a Mac for university this fall, and it is so great! Very user friendly and cool to operate. He bought his online and was offered a free Nano as a gift with purchase. He already had one, so he gave the new one to me! Too bad they only give those great deals to students!

Um, get a Mac. You can have all the good things about Mac, all the good things about PC (I think there are a few), and none of the PROBLEMS about PC. And Mac doesn’t have any problems. And no one bothers to create viruses for Mac. And I would never put you in the same accountant box as that nerdy PC guy.

I have had the cute little MacBook with pink keyboard cover for just over a year now. I love it! It never gives me problems like my old dell did or my classmates who have mini breakdowns in Technology class when their computers freeze and they can’t keep up with instruction - haha suckers! I have no had a lot of time to use the extra features on pictures, however I’m sure they are cool. I have used a few - but the photobooth with built-in camera is pretty fun to play with and take silly pictures that are distorted - I’m sure you’ve seen some.
I think the best word I can used to describe the mac, inside and out, is clean. It’s just so smooth and so trustworthy. And if something does come up that it’s not happy about, it tells you in such a nice pretty manner, no frighteneing sound or ugly box with a red ‘x’ - it is just great! Wish I could have told you about the more technical side, but it’s better than nothing Feel free to email me if you have anything I can help you with when making your choice

I have the same Nano, er I mean, Jay does. I got it for him for Christmas. Turns out I use it way more than he does. Nice wife eh?

I am a Dell girl but then again, I am also an accountant. Seems fitting doesn’t it! Good luck with your decision.

My hubs will NEVER allow me to own a Mac. For one, he HATES them (Even thought they are so pretty! Sob!) and another is that he wouldn’t know how to fix it if it were to break.

So…No Mac for me.
