Goodbye Apple laptop... Hello new PC

[maboroshi]

I have been using my macbook pro for a month now maybe more. I realize I probably have not given it chance enough. But as a development system it is not good, it is basically a toy.You just can't beat a system with a TaskBar and although there are a few things you can do instead, it just doesn't seem productive to me.

Mind you I was very happy to get my mac and to some people it is great. But I found development (even in photoshop) on it awkward and slow.

My Mom needed a new system so she will get the mac book pro and I have already purchased

Impressive! How much did it cost you in total, and where did you get it (if it was online)?

laptops are cheap, I brought two couple weeks ago when the HDD failed on the Dell Inspiron. So I got two HP G4s. Two UML290s for wifi/broadband. Win 7, up from Vista.

One day I went shopping along came a salesman hopping spreading joy of Macintosh he would shout with glee. I took this mans advice decided to pay the price and I was as happy as a tree frog in a tree… But then suddenly something went wrong this salesman spoke to fast not mentioning a simple task this computer could not perform. Frustrated I began to cry, I spoke "I can not use this mac for a simple task", suddenly an idea came to me. I know, I know I said I will buy a PC and a solution there will be. so i bought this PC now I await for it to arrive so I can complete this task of mine and be happier than a tree frog in a tree.
