I got a new computer! Finally!

Haha! I'm a Graphic/Web Designer. Every company and studio that I've ever worked at uses them. Even at the post-production studio for infomercials that I worked at. Mac OS really is more intuitive and with the newer OS's, I never even have to worry about drivers. The computer just sees them. The prices are more reasonable than ever on them and the newer ones will even run Windows and more efficiently than PC's. Mine, however, are a little older and will not run Windows - thank god.

Ahhh...make sense.  Even though the prices have become recently more reasonable, they still can't compare with the value, variety, and power of PCs.  But your right, Macs are simple to use, its a slowpoke's, and an IT guy's, dream.

Good to see another Texan m25operator using Linux.  I just upgraded my computer. Got a new box for more spaces and a quieter power supply, and installed a MCI motherboard powered by an  AMD 5800. 2.8 x 2, 1gig of ram, and replaced Linspire 5 0 with Ubuntu 8.1. That's the program you need. It's got a great media center that powers my Sound Blaster live drive. I can plug my bass guitar in and record ,edit it and record it to DAT.  Man this thing is fast! Ubuntu8.1, you can down load it burn a ISOdisc and it's free! I gave away my unused XP home to a needy friend. Linux kicks Microsoft out of the water.

I was wandering around Walmart today and I saw this PC and decided to get it. Its a Compaq notebook. It has windows vista on it and it has 3072MB ddr2 system memory, a 160GB hard drive, it plays and copies Cd's and DVDs. a 15.6" diagonal hi def wide screen display and 3 usb ports. Now don't ask me what any of this means as I am just reading it off the box. The best part was the price. I paid $315 out the door. I'm still trying to figure it out but it sure beats my old gateway running windows Me. If I made a bad choice go easy on me as I know practically next to nothing about computers and this one was cheap.

An abacus with half the beads missing beats the heck out of ANYTHING with Windows ME on it.

Any one with both hands that has all their fingers beats ME.  That new Windows 7 though, its a sweet setup.
