Dear Friend,\n\nAll these configuration is good, try to get IBM and their products and APPLE and their products.\n\nDid u remember before year of 95, two kinds of softwares will be there one for TEXT-Mode (DOS mode) and another GUI-mode (Windows mode) for IBM computers. But not after Windows 95 (OS).\n\nStill there are softwares are available different OS. Like WINDOWS, LINUX, UNIX, HP-UX, SOLARIS. All are not available for MAC.\n\nI think you will get it or mail to me.

They are pretty good budget machines. I had one, etower 366, went great for 4-5 years, then just blew out. I know, kinda weird, but I didn't really take care of it.\n\nNow I have a emachines T2858 and it is pretty good and a great deal also! Customer Service sucks, but still the PC is cheap. I don't have any complaints other than that my PC occasionaly makes a soft winding sound...I think its the HD. Still works great and I hope it will continue to work great.\n\nOverall I recommend over DELL because you get more for less. Also Dells are filled with junk that slow ur pc down.

Mac with Intel is wonderful.  New Macbook laptop is sooo easy to use.  You have the option to run windows or tiger,  Software is simple, I am able to transfer my ipod between a windows computer and this laptop with no problems, so It handles some windows software with no issue.  Stick with a mac and stay away from the dark world of windows!!!

Yes, but normally a PC without having sp1 and sp2 the USB connection will have problems detecting your upod. So its better to have sp2 installed in your PC, it does not only detects your ipod but it provides you with much more features and upgrades on your drivers. Furthermore, serivce packs are installed to fix bugs encountered in using the normal windows. ;)

I'm long time mac user since 1984.   And i have seen windows 95 a new OS coming up in year 1995. I have been using both OSs since then till Mac OS X 10.4 and XP professional. Windows is  just  like an empty plate for yourself to serve and eat(ie get the third party). But Macs are packed with great features and software which you won't even get from the windows third party. Finally why is the Mac user base in the world very small ? Its just same as asking why Ferrari's Market share is less.They are expensive but worth to have.\n\nMacs are designed for students, email & internet users, professionals users.\nApple products hardware & software are designed in such a way that all the complex tasks are done with simplicity and real ease. Looks great and cool.\n\nEg- iPods. On a iPod you know how easy is it to select a song you want from a collection of 10000 songs library. With just a few clicks on you iPod.Right..! Try that on any other MP3 player in market today.\nThats because the well designed hardware and software and most importantly well integration of the iTunes and iPod. But along with the easy use iPods look beautiful and cool.\n\nMacs are similar. most easy to use, great user experience, great features. \n\nFOR STUDENTS AND GENERAL COMPUTER USERS -\nEasy to use with few Examples:-\n\nDrag and drop-\nInstallation and uninstallation of applications. Just drag the application you want to install from the installation CD and drop in the Application folder and thats it, Installation done. In some cases we need to do installations in conventional way(like windows) but most of the times its drag and drop. For un-installation its just drag the application to the trash and empty it. un-installtion done. Very simple for general users. Same with moving folders and files.\n\nTrue Plug and play-  Of course now XP is also capable of it. But not 98,ME,2000.\nWith Macs plug and play works really smooth since Mac OS 8 days\n\nFeatures:-  Ok! the hardware looks cool so what about software the brain of the computer. Microsoft is following Apple for years. You will see these Mac feature in the next years release of Microsoft's next generation OS Vista.\n\n\nMac OS X-  http://www.apple.com/macosx/newfeatures/\nHeart of the Mac with a smart way to do the tasks. \n           Cool looks and feel and really easy to use OS with Drag & Drop,\n Aqua look, and really a great user experience.\n\nDashboard - instantly access to small apps like calculator, stock charts,weather, \n                      clocks, telephone directory... Its really cool..\n\nSpotlight- Instantly searches with lightening speed.\n\niChat A/V - Coolest experience for Instant messaging and video         \n           conference with isight.\n\n\nAutomator - repeated tasks like renaming the file names is done     \n            in a matter of few secs.\n\nMail Client - free with OS really cool features like slide show \n             of the image which come on your emails\n\nQuicktime -  Support for HD videos to mobile phone format 3G format. Great to have             \n                      mpeg -4 support in Quick time. \n\nFront row:- Remote for a mac to explore you mac digital life from across the room\nhttp://www.apple.com/macmini/frontrow.html\n\niLife suite - http://www.apple.com/ilife/\n Free with any new Mac. Its really a great package of software which we  \n           really require to manage our digital life style.\n\n* iPhoto - Photos and view them with great effects and \nslide show and even make books and calendar out of our own images.\n\n\n* iMovie -  Very easy to capture movies from the digital camcorder and easy to \nto edit software. there are cool effects available\n \n* iTunes - i Guess all iPod owner know how easy to used is the ipod with cool looks and great features. Really cool app to organize my music.\n - Podcast:- Free audio and video stuff you subscribe\n\n* iDVD  - Feels like I'm doing a hollywood project. :-) This app has got great

I have a Windows PC but a iMac notebook, and I've never regretted my decision to have a mac notebook. Truth be told that you need to use the mac's equivalent softwares - sometimes you can't find a particular software because there's only a windows version, but other than that, there's a lot of things that macs do right and I like!\n\nI like the fact that should something go wrong with the OS, and you need to re-install, you don't need to lose your software, only the kernal gets replaced...I once installed the whole OS and didn't have to load a single app or file after that!\n\nI like the way a lot of functions are made smart and easy. Connecting to wireless networks, something you'll do often with a laptop, is very quick and painless with a mac, don't have to open network connections, type passwords twice, or anything like that.\n\nI like how macs have no registry, to uninstall an app you simply move its icon to the trash. Want to move the app to a new directory, no prob, just move the file. \n\nAnd then its the little things, the way that the explorer equivalent has folder favorites, probably the feature I would like to see most in Windows...I'm tired at the office trying to go to a folder I use every day! Expose, quick searching... \n\nI found if you're going to do lots of programming its restrictive...thats why I have a windows desktop for that and everything else I can't do with a mac, but for a laptop, I think I'll stick with macs.

I LOVE my Apples!  I've had a few over the years; currently, I have a 14" iBook, & a mini.  Both came with GarageBand installed.  \n\nGarageBand has been fun:  I have a cheap USB midi keyboard, a Griffin iMic, & cheap microphone)  \n\nIf you're good with a keyboard, you'll be able to do quite a bit without anything else.  There are 2 built-in inputs, but both are kind of clunky:  one is a virtual keyboard on the screen that you play with the mouse; and the other maps about 1 octave on your typing keyboard.  You can edit your midi tracks, but the program isn't necessarily optimized for that, & it's rather time-consuming to do any more than shift pitch or timing of notes.\n\nThe biggest downside for you will probably be the variety of voices.  There are expansion packs available, but they're $100 each (I bought one so far.)

Stick with Macs.  Get an Macbook or a Macbook pro.  There is a really good reason that almost the entire professional music community uses macs.  They are more stable, and have less driver issues than pcs.  In addition, the best music software, such as Logic and Digital Performer only work on macs.  Protools, the industry standard has a pc version, but it is notoriously buggy.\n\nYou will need to get a audio interface as well.  I recommend the Motu Traveller.

Sadly, I'm just responding out of support... I'm curious to know if they are worth it as well!   Thanks for the heads up about mbabuzz.com

I have an Emachine.  As of this date I haven't had any problems with it at all.  This is my 4th computer.  Two others were Dells and one was a Hewlard Packard.   For the price I paid I think it is wonderful.

Obsolete, I assume.  Anyway, is a hammer obsolete?  Yes, a nail gun works better, but if you are twenty miles from the closest electric plug or air compressor, and you have to only drive one nail, the hammer can't be beat.\n\nThe old processors of yesterday, like the 6502 or 8086 are still around, just not running computers with today's bloated software.  The processors aren't obsolete - your computing requirements are expanding.\n\nThus, if your demands for technology tomorrow are not yet defined, how can one assume that today's processors will handle it?\n\nIn other words, if you only want to run WordPerfect on a Windows 3.1 machine, a 80386 chip is not obsolete, nor will it be 10 years from now if still that's all you want to do.

I bought my MacBook Pro just a few months ago, and the price has already dropped, and the clock speed has increased.  It's just something to be expected. However, I have respect for Apple not dropping their prices on all their PowerPC computers.  This holds the value on the resale market that PCs only wish they could have! :)\n\nnote:\nwindows is not "pre-installed".  After downloading the free Beta called Boot Camp, you must supply your own copy of Windows, which is like $100 or something.

Yea all those answers are good but if people are too technical savy you can always look into an apple based NAS, you can easily fit 7TB of data in a 4-5U chassis. Apple has complete support for Active directory and Windows Domain use, infact you can even start an AD or Windows Domain using the apple server. I am not pushing for apple but we use it where I work and they look great and are flawless

If you want an Apple wait a bit. They're gonna release the new Mac with the Intel chip. You'll be able to run OSX and Windows.\nI would wait and buy a MAC when its ready. I wont even tell you what other PC is good because the're all shit compared to MACS.\nALSO REMEMBER HP, GATEWAY, AND EMACHINES have all filed for bankruptcy!!

As a Computer Repair specialist that owns his own company, it seems to me that Pc users tend to be frustrated over lack of usablity and lack of compatiblity of the MAC at first attempt.mac users scowel at the pcs security and crashing problems. \n(im talking about more then the average mom computer user)\nMac users seem to know as much about there computer as say a gamers knows about there playstation. they know about there specs and thats about. most if not all of the hardware repairs are done at a service station of mac professtionals were as pc upgrades are alot more common and require computer users to go through out the system
