Hi Leo,

Here is an old but still wise question in the decision making process when buying a new computer. Ask you self what you want to do with this computer purchase, check into the available software that will perform those tasks and that will dictate what type/brand/power level of computer to buy.

I agree with jrl that those people heavily into graphics, pro-level music studios, etc. tend to go for MAC. The MAC is far less susceptible to software problems since software developers must adhere to more stringent rules than those writing for Dos/Windows based machines. That normally also relates to considerably higher software prices. The MAC O/S is constantly being upgraded just like Windows. When a new O/S comes out, it means having to try and make the peripheral devices work with the new O/S which can be a real pain on either platform.

I am not trying to talk you into or out of any particular system, just more to consider.
