new computers
strapping young lad:
you will get the mac vs windows discussion till the proverbial cows go wandering and at the end of the day its down to personal preference..
i would like a mac but ive used windows for donkeys and its like teaching an old dog new tricks whatever you do on the mac you cannot stop but think.. but you do it like this on windows..
i find the irony of the sys admins in work who harp on about linux being the holy grail of operating systems yet they have xp on their laptops.. cos they cant work out how to access exchange properly..
:)
stick with what you know or push the boat out and get a mac book air they look mint!
tbh ALL i do these days is browse, check email which is gmail anyway, and msn
these can be done on a mobile phone! but even so my computer preference had i have a blank cheque and nothing to start from i would possibly push for a mac.

You do for the first attachment. Then Outlook locks down so you can't do anything else until you've sent that one message, or (totally logically) saved it as a draft. Great design.

Buy a Dell and enjoy the security of a big brand.
I hate to say this, after working for a UK PC Manufacturer for 7 years before they went bust, but don't buy anything from a uk company - especially in this current economic climate. Also make sure you purchase on your credit card if you can, as this gives you extra protection.

I'll put a vote in for the little Eee PCs. I've had an Eee 900 for a few months now and it's great. Mine came with Linux and for most people it would be perfect. It'll browse the web, connect to your email account, write documents, etc. It also boots in about thirty seconds!

I've got an EEE as well, just the old 701 but running Ubuntu instead of Xandros, love the thing. However not practical to use it as a 'main' pc. I am also tempted by the Samsung NC10 and may get one soon if I can find the funds..
