        I thought we had already established that your sense of aesthetics is, ummm... strange, to say the least.

        I'm about to reconfigure the cabinet, so that the facade of the computer is all that you will see if you open the door. It'll look super nice.

        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  I can't say I approve. I've just spent the day trying to teach some of my wife's friends to use XP. Whoever designed it should be shot.

                    A lot of it is far more intuitive on OS X, for sure.

                    For example, to browse the internet on Windows XP you go: Start -> Internet Explorer

                    To browse the internet on OS X you click on Safari.

                      Monitor looks nice, computer is abomination. If this is what PLUS subscriptions are being wasted on...

                        I went to my mothers house this weekend and found an emac, of all things, and much to my dismay was forced to use it to surf the net. Man that was painful. What fun, maneuvering multiple browser windows and cutting/pasting with a one button cliche.

                          No ****ing way. And you can't browse the Internet.

                          More like "Start -> Mozilla Firefox" to me and any decent PC user.

                            Good money wasted. I would have seriously recommended that you would have first looked at what AMD has to offer. Would have been more rewarding for any gamer. Also you'll end up with "a roaring PC with a hot heart", ie. a damn noisy and excessively heat producing system.
