I thought I'd finally decided to buy a B&W, but, over the weekend I think
I may have changed my mind. I built a pc out of parts donated by my
brother and found during dumpster dives. It is a 550mhz tower, 10/100
ethernet, usb, agp video, and it is _fast_ compared to any mac I've ever
used. Especially any mac running slow OSX.
So... now I am thinking... here is this _free_ 550mhz pc sitting here
(ok, it did cost me $29 for a new 52x cdrom, the other 2 dumpster finds
were toast), with an OS as foreign to me as OSX, and I'm thinking of
dropping ~$800 on a B&W (with serial solution and cdrw).
Now I am thinking that WINME/XP is just about as easy to learn the guts
of as OSX will be. And OSX is slow, slow, slow compared to this pc. Why
have a sluggish internet experience with X, when a free pc is so much
faster...
Never thought I'd be a happy pc user... until OSX that is.
