If you're buying a computer to prove something, then by all means do not get anything that runs mac or windows. Seriously, though - I buy a computer because I wanted that particular machine. Not to support a company (If you're concerned about supporting some 'evil' company, then don't get a mac: the *entire* purchase goes to the company, rather than just the OS price). I think it's dumb to try to 'boycott' a company, just because they are trying to make money for themselves. Sure, it's a waste of money to buy an OS bundled, if you're not going to use it. But really, the OEM price of the OS is very, _very_ small. Buying a computer just because of some silly Apple logo is another story, though... :-) -- Christopher Stamper Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://tinyurl.com/2ooncg gTalk: http://tinyurl.com/6e359r Skype: cdstamper
