Hence I've had a long love affair with ms. Bofors
I loved yo olde Bofors. Worked on one once that was hand cranked.
Yeah, thats how it starts. You start cranking it with a hand and then nature takes its course. [X(][:D]
I thought it was electric power after that?

My employer buys Dells exclusively. Yes they suck.
Yeah, mine does too... after today, i am going to see if i can influence them not to. That should cost Dell a few hundred K/year if i can. Doubtful, but i'll give it a shot.
I've always had a dell and can't complain. My wife is an apple lover....She wants an all in one apple that we can run windows and her mac crap on....should I take the plunge?

You want a desktop, not a laptop, right? I'd get an iMac...starts at $1200. If you hunt around, you might find a refurbished one for less.
The alternative would be a Mac mini. Those are nice little machines too.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Aww thats nothin' at all. I was expecting you to say 3k or something. Are refurbished more prone to problems?

Ditto. I run AE in Fusion and it works great. I bought Win7 for more graphics-intensive games but thats a different story.

Not that I've heard. And I think (dont quote me on this) that they still come with the 1 year warranty.

You can spend 3k if you want. [8D] That'll get you a beast of a Mac Pro.
Don't know about refurbished issues....they tend to be well-made devices, so refurbished makes some sense, providing it is done properly.

Just had a great lunch with my wife and a good family friend who came over for the first time since Christmas. I think it's time to win the Powerball jackpot. I could get used to this not working thing. [:D]

Hope your travel is ....well OK (i can't hope it could reach a level "perfect", i have no confidance in frecnh people).
