Hi, I just bought a new PC, P4 2Ghz, Geforce4, 256Mb DDR, 80Gb, 40xCDRW, DVD, firewire, 10/100 LAN, 56k modem, video out, XP+other MS crap. Cost? 1000 Euros (about $1000, 600UK pounds) cheap. The only drawback is I only have two slots free. I bought it for P5, its a tool. But I still lust after a Powerbook. Why? Because they're just so damn sexy. If you want a cool toy, the Mac is it. Always has been. Mac's have always sold on style and ease of use. Because even when they came in beige boxes, they were beautifuly designed, award winning, beige boxes. My new PC by comparison, is a drab metal box. Lately, Apple have been able to boast of toasting a P4, which on certain apps, they do. Simply because the software is written to take advantage of the hardware. Last I hard Photoshop gaussian blur, crunching DivX;-) and mp3's was still faster on a Mac. Which will please content creators, if not the likes of you and me. Apple have never really been able to compete on raw power alone, but they've never really had to. A Mac, like a BMW is an aspirational purchase. If I could only think of one legitimate use for a mac I'd buy one tomorrow, but $3000 is lot to pay for a toy, so at the moment I'm stuck with my laptop, my small metal box, and a bad case of system envy :) later jb
