MedTechStudent said:Well then, from experience, don't you think a Mac is a better bet for a 17 year old guy who is going to most likely simply use it for MSN/ Army.ca/ and various Word projects?

CDN Aviator said:Actualy, no i dont. Thats why i just got a PC for my 11 year old daughter.
MedTechStudent said:Ok fine, I'l rephrase it.
Do you not think that getting a $1,100 mac is better than buying a $700 acer with an added $500 of software, plus virus protection, plus warranty...for a 17 year old guy who is going to most likely simply use it for MSN/ Army.ca/ and various Word projects?
EDIT: Never mind, to each his own. Nothing wrong with PCs. Thats why they've been around so long.

It's what I had to do with my current rig for a duel boot, and I've done it for other people who were jaded on Vista or wanted to try out Vista. All Dell OEM operating systems will work on a Dell system w/o activation, keys or anything else needed. Ever.
ArmyVern said:Well, wrt to cost, there's always this option too as suggested earlier in the thread:
MedTechStudent said:added $500 of software,
plus virus protection,
plus warranty...
RTaylor said:But macs looks so much nicer
MedTechStudent said:I meant 500 for XP + Installation,
Whoa thanks a lot Gap!GAP said:
CDN Aviator said:Installation ?
ArmyVern said:Oh, and I've been using AVG virus scan for years!! It's free!! And, fortunately, I've never had a virus on my PC. I'm also running another freebie -- Ad-adware SE Personal to keep away all that nasty spyware and tracking cookies/urls.
