Barbara downloads lots of garbage games, music, sims, and when our neices come here they use Barbaras computer and these kids ..........................

her computer was always fucked up
in fact I use to remove some sort of spyware or virus almost daily

so last Xmas I got her a imac
I havent had to touch that computer since
and it boots up just as fast as the first day I turned it

if you have a virus or spyware problem this is the anwser.....

ohhh and in 9 months....she has never had to reboot that computer

sometimes she shuts it down when shes done, Sometimes she doesnt

it still works like it just came out of the box

well i had that with my old puter so i bought a new one (finally after 5 years using the old one) my hubby has the best stuff, but i like simple so 5 years the same puter and getting more irritating then ever, now i have a new one, i still hate it, i manage to ruin the old puter and yes i have it fixed, its fast again and no spyware shit in it. so now i made a deal with my hubby again specialy after those postings here (even he has already 2 good laptops) he gets my new puter, and i am gonna buy myself an other new puter and a laptop( where is that evil smilie) damnnn i am a good bizz woman ( na me just a good wife) now i only have to look what i need because i know how to make sites but i dont know shit about puters.|violin|

I'm seriouly thinkin about this link Cleo posted

If you go with a windows machine
do your reviews with mozzalla

The new iMacs are actually faster then the 17" Powerbook that I use which has a gig of RAM but is two generations old.

The best part of a Mac is Mac OS X. The power of UNIX and the ease of a Mac.

Stuveltje if you get another Wintell machine it is going to just happen to you again. :(

Cleo.....this year I was thinking about gettin a mac laptop for myself

no more towers just plug in a keyboard and mouse and use that

maybe get some sort of external harddrive for some extra file storage

what cha think ?

yep i think till the time i buy a new puter again i have to go with mozil thing or firefox, although i know firefox is good with protection, it wont show all of the submitted sites i have to review.

yes and my new puter is an windows shit f........ and i know i get the shit from reviewing, and specialy because me foreign, i get on dialer shit easy, i realy use my puter only for bizz, we have more puters in the house for music and all, i go only to sponsors and my own stuff, but the reviewing is killing me with spyshit, still i like to review( i know its nuts)

When I'm home I plug a 22" monitor into its DIV port. I keep all my palets on the 17" laptop's screen and do my work on the 22" screen. Unlike the iMac or the iBooks the Powerbooks and G5s support dual monitors.

It also has USB, FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 ports so I can pretty much hook up as much storage as I want. It also has a cardbus slot and built-in Bluetooth and WiFi.

This is the somewhat newer version of what I use.

Since windows pisses me off almost once a month and I have to restore my whole system I'm definately looking for something else and I just had a first look at the powerbook and the new iMac and I think both are looking great and so do the specs.

My problem is that I never actually used a mac and over here in Europe you don't see them that much anyway. I have never seen a mac in a retailer that I know of and just looking at the price difference from US to Europe makes me going crazy...

the 17" powerbook is in the US store for $2799 and in the EU store it is for 2898 Euros which is around $3400. Come on, that is just ridiculous!

I'm happy with the perfomance of both my systems on the hardware level, the standalone is a 2000+ athlon xp and the thinkpad is a 1600 centrino but the OS which would be windows they are both running on just sucks...

I would love to try a mac but I'm not sure if I could do all with it that I do now with my windows system. Maybe I should try to find a retailer that has some and check it out. After that I would definately have to find a way to get around that european price, because that is just crappy |angry|

oh nice you didnt make me happier physio my friend*fainted* again, i was wondering where i could buy a mac in holland, lol it wont be easy to order in us, well it will be easy but the cops will stop my package at the border.......da...............fre.................mo..........who.......:)
