DeepThought 0 #19 February 10, 2005 This all depends on what you want to use it for. If you want to use it for video editing, photoshop, etc or music + internet stuff Get a Mac. However if you want to play lots of the latest games get a PC. On the Dell side of things, they do use a lot of proprietry parts, which can make them ard to work on, upgrade etc. But If you want one to place on your desk and not touch for the next 3 years they are good. -------------------------------------------------- You only have one life, make the most of it.
