Going contrary to popular advice, which recommends running the new Mac and the old PC side-by-side for a while...,

Geez, I'd love to, but my last remaining Win box's registry got inexplicably hosed. Not even system restore works.

Mac Pro, here I come.

Win xp pro, xp and vista -we have them all, each advancement was worse... Our 3 year old hp hard drive (the win xp) and motherboard died a couple of months ago. We had so many gigs available on the HD, and it was barely used. I am sick of installing new hardware, formatting, updating and the security issues. I can’t stand it. Can you imagine freeping on a blackberry? My eyes suffered big time. 8-/

We have a laptop w/vista and a used desktop xp pro. Both are highly annoying.

If it weren’t for reading a freeper’s comments, I wouldn’t have known to not surf under the administrators user name...I thought I was well versed at this.

I’ll stop now—my BP is rising cause I am remembering all the bad windows memories. I store nothing on the harddrive anymore.

I also prefer my $400 35m film camera. I can get film and a cd of pics. Can’t stand digitals—we have the instant gratification, hundreds that have yet to be developed. We lost so many great pictures that we failed to back up when I had to reformat because of NORTON’s corruption of the boot up...Arrgh!

Bah.

I've created a supercomputer utilizing Zunes and FreeBSD.

I can now report, that the answer to the ultimate question is not "42" as has elsewhere been reported, but "El Paso", by Marty Robbins. (?)

Wanna buy a used supercomputer?
