Yeah, I hear ya.
Macs are hideously overpriced, and expansion capabilities are limited or non-existent.
You are better off with Windows, then.
I would stay away from Vista, though. WXP or W7 are the way to go, and you should get the Pro or MultiMedia versions.
W7 does not provide an email client, except through their spyware infested web interface, so you will want to consider using your ISP’s email client or use something like Thunderbird, if you prefer local clients.
Hey, I don’t wanna hijack a thread, but since you’ve been bashing on Mac, I need to fix your comments.
Macs do cost more than most PCs. But not feature for feature. You cannot buy a comparable PC for close to Mac. Mac is actually cheaper in cash at the time of sale, and performs better, no viruses, no down time, and has a much higher resale.
Mac simply does not sell a cheap $500 plastic box that will die on you. Gateway, Dell, Sony, Acer, are DESIGNED to make cheap low end, low margin PCs.
That this GD communist was using his iPhone to commit fraud, is only evidence that “apple” works best. LOL
