dual-link DVI ports .........
First I’ve heard of that. I looked it up. Thanks

Well, it begins with the word “I”, which is the favorite word of many people.
Another reason to buy Apple - it is ever soooo much more expensive.
Don’t forget the inherent simplicity of buying into a system which has some 5% of all users. Not to mention that waaaay over 90% of programs are PC, not Apple.
The good news is that the Apple community consists of teachers and artists. KEWL - Lots of leads. At least that’s what Dippy the Hippy told me.

Linux seems to me to be an idea whose time has come.
I think you could count 50 times the author mentions himself in this annoying article.
A Firewire 800 card costs around $60.
I have a Macbook 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of Ram that cost me less than $1400. I run it hooked up to a 22” monitor with a USB keyboard and mouse. I Run OS X 10.5.6 AND Parallels with Windows XP. XP runs faster on this machine than my old PC with 3 GB of Ram and an AMD 3000+ processor.
I never turn the PC on unless it is to do an update or play some game I have on it.
Also you can get Open Office from Sun Microsystems that will do all of the Microsoft Word, Power Point, Access, Draw etc that office/publisher will do. It will even save in MS formats. No need for XP for that one.
