Bottom Line: I wouldn't have even dreamed this two years ago, but with Boot Camp on board and OS X looking as good as it does, my next PC may very well be an Apple.


For the future:

InPhase expects to develop less-expensive media that can store between 75GB and 100GB in an area the size of a postage stamp.

Quad Core Chips
QUOTE
Bottom Line: Quad-core performance gains are likely to be small for most applications, though power-hungry creative types and gamers could see some benefit. But I still don't see how AMD gets "4x4" out of two dual-core chips. Maybe we can convince Intel to team up with Home Depot to produce some 2x4s.

In this months Smart Money magazine(Wall St Journal publication), in the letters section, there is a PC person saying he switched to Mac too.  He advises his PC friends to "Get a Mac!"

Our local Mac store sells them just as fast as they come in, he is out right now, as so many people bought them to take to college and whatever.
Rumor that there might be an upgrade in the processors coming soon,,,,,,,
I am going to wait a while.

QUick edit,,,,,,,These new iMacs support the extended desktop thing, you can hook up another monitor and not just mirror it, it will extend.
Thats neat!
