But since I don't feel like being Ozmandias, I think I'll go with the option below.

Ozmandias? He was weak.

Please... think Batman in his Bat Cave:-)

What would my computer cost now? You could put together the same computer and all those screens for the same as the I5 Quad Core they are going to offer at $2000. And you would get those screens, a 3.7 Ghz Quad Core, a 2GB GTX 295 video card, a 10,000 RPM hard drive, and 8 GB of DDR2 RAM.

Macs are nice and superior in design, just too expensive for what you get in performance. Good thing they optimize their operating system. And, they just don't run much that I want to play or use. I say if you are getting a Mac, that I5 version is the one to go with. Quad core was a huge jump in performance for me.

I just priced it out for grins. I priced the exact same hardware in the new I5 ($1999) iMax with an LG 27" LCD running the same resoultion and dot pitch. Total with case, Windows 7 and all you would have to buy: $1225. So you pay a $775 dollar premium to go Mac for this particular system. That is all I am saying.

To bad that windows computer will only work for a year then I will have to troubleshoot all my time away trying to figure out why it keeps turning off randomly. I am not fighting, just conversing. You pay 775 for the reliability of a mac and so I do not have to talk to Yusef if I have a problem with it. And that is only if I bought it with a warranty, otherwise I am talking to myself changing out hardware to see if it makes a difference.

Whatever floats your white, smooth-edged boat. No, seriously, I don't blame you given past experience. I will say PC hardware is better now then in the past. I have had zero failures in the last 3 years with my desktop. My macs...well 4 chargers dead didn't make me happy but Brooke still loves it.

I feel so caught in the middle of a BIG FIGHT. I own 3 Macs and two PC's. They all work. I get a lot of Norton warnings every day, but, hey, they both work. I voted for Obama and I voted for Bush. I'm the middle man. Come on over to my side and see how good it feels. Watch the banter across the waves and still, I can get on any of my systems and enjoy the same battle. Sundry Seven on the MAC and Sundry Seven on the PC is still the same fight. From where I sit, IN THE MIDDLE, life is good. Total cost, close to $10,000. It really is comfortable here, in the middle. Fight on. Just be nice, Dad :)
