Yep. In DC we have a world-class system, in some ways,

My question is: is it better to buy a PC to run PC programs, or a Mac to

I take it that you are voting for my buying a PC laptop.
Why, you ask? Many reasons, here's a few why.
The reason for considering buying a Mac is the high regard that members
of this listserv hold for the Mac. It seems that the OS is claimed here
to be superior to that of a PC, as well as th
No, I wasn't. I own both Macs and PCs, but only Mac laptops.
The OS I've found if far superior on the Mac. The OS never seems to

There are two main different types of external cases.
PATA and SATA.
The polder drives that take the big flat cable and bog molex 4 pin
power connector are PATA.
The one you describe is an SATA drive.
The PATA are what used to be called IDE drives.
So you want a SATA external enclosure.
