Computer

[figment]

Although I am getting healthier... the same cannot be said for my poor laptop. I just got a call from the Apple repair guys and I guess I spilled something on it months ago that caused the problem... so it would cost upwards of $750 to fix it. Not worth it; that's 2/3 or more the cost of a new computer. Agh. So they will ship the dead computer back and I'll see if I can get the local guys at the store to throw the data transfer in for free with the cost of the new computer I'll be buying.

Argh. I didn't really want the expense of a new computer right now. Oh well.

VISTA IS EVIL!!!! (okay, feel a little better now) When I got my new notebook about 3 weeks ago it had Vista on it. I didn't even bother booting into the OS once before I formated the hard drive and installed Windows XP Professional.

If the "look & feel" of a Mac OS is important funcationality to you (important enough to more than double the price of the computer), than a Mac is the way for you to go I guess.

I use mine very much the way you do. It was purchased primarily as a system to do web-design on. It's low power and a bit slower than I'd really like when I bring up Photoshop with large images. But when I need power I have my desktop at home. For the purposes of writing ASP, ASP.NET, and HTML it is more than enough.
