My interest in this thread goes back to my last minute decision not to purchase the Mac over my HP laptop .... granted I agree the Mac is without doubt the better of the 2 ... but, is it worth to me, the xtra $700 (+) over the HP pc which I purchased ... my HP has more than sufficient disk space, the processor delivers more than adequate speed for the purpose I require. The price I find is the clincher, as $700 is no small change. Anyway, I beleive I made the best decision for myself, plus I took the money I saved and put it towards purchasing another quitar .... another Taylor, not a Martin :), but then again I relish that Taylor 'sound' over the Martin. Lets leave this topic for another thread, and another day.

Again ... I find this thread interesting and informative ... I enjoy the comments ... maybe when I go to purchase another computer in the future it will probability it will be a Mac ... or who knows, there might be a another platform on the black that maybe will be more innovative, as long as i can run Picassa2 on it.
