People are still talking about this; Let's all get along; go opensource w/Linux and use web applications like IBM's new Symphony of office applications. What do you think?
Missionairies of Macintosh
I need a new computer.
The disagreeable Toshiba from grad school crashes inexplicably on it's own whim. I've wiped it clean so many times it has more in common with Jim Carrey's character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindthan it's brethren that recognize Windows. Needless to say, I'm a little uncomfortable storing anything important on the old Tosh (although my trusty external harddrive puts me at ease).
At the day job I use an archaic hand-me-down Dell. Occasionally,
it forgets it has memory upon booting up - only to curiously display
familiar desktop items later in the week just when I begin to get
concerned. And though I still adore that old Smith-Corona Super Sterling and it is wireless and portable, it's also disconnected, and just won't cut it long term.
Which leaves your resident blogger at a crossroads... PC or Mac?

Get a mac. Modern macs can always run windows if you need it (although you probably won't), and the hardware is excellent and competitively priced. Modern PCs will require you to work hard to set them up, and won't run OSX if you eventually want a care-free operating system.
