PC Wins the Battle

OK – this is more like it. I spent yesterday returning Macintosh products and shopping for a new PC. I went with a Toshiba P105-S6084 – a very popular model with an unbelievable 2GB RAM that looks similar to the photo above. I was very pleased with the customer service at Best Buy.

I started after 5 pm and it was all up and running with another SPRINT EVDO card, wireless mouse, virus protection software, feed readers, Firefox, Adobe CS, and GoogleTalk within a few hours. Having trouble with the Product Key for Microsoft Office though. Just a small learning curve with the key placement and feel of the keyboard. This is lightyears ahead of my four-year-old IBM laptop.

My experiment using the new Intel chip and running both OS X and Windows on a MacBook Pro is over and was not a success. In fact, it was a very expensive ordeal. In my (humble) opinion, Apple still has some work ahead in developing BootCamp. I love the Macintosh, but until they have this software perfected and the phone companies catch up with the high-speed express style EVDO cards, I’m sticking with the PCs.

So, no more excuses not to post…
