You're right...well I decided that I sitck with ol tried and true Windows XP...besides I want to do some programming as well. Plus, to my knowledge I don't think there's many Language compliers for Macs anyway. Most are for windows and i'm starting to get familiar with Windows IDE. Learning and doing programming on a Mac might be harder. Plus, I love the command prompt...
Also when Windows Longhorn and Blackcomb comes out years from now...i'd like it upgrade to try it out. I hear it's going to be a blast lol
So I might start computer shopping soon...TheMajor recommended a Toshiba brand for a laptop and they are nice but I want some other opinions or maybe a pros and cons list of the other brands such as Compaq, Sony, etc
