Any Mac people here?

Actually, I love my Mac at work. If I could get one for less than an arm and a leg, I would. I suggest you get Bootcamp, Parallels and a decent mouse. Th mighty mouse is complete garbage. A basic Dell mouse is better. Don't upgrade the RAM from Apple. They overprice their memory 400%-700%.

Thank you for an educated and helpful response.

You covered a couple things I am mulling over.
 
Yep, grab a 4gb memory kit from newegg for $80. Thats what I did, Apple wants $400 for it on a Macbook Pro which is retarded.

I'm also doing the Bootcamp/Parallels thing. Parallels can use a Boot Camp partition which is pretty slick. That way you don't have to load Windows twice and waste hard drive space.

The Apple keyboard aint bad. I'm also using a Logitech G7 laser mouse thingy. If you use something called USB Overdrive it will make all the buttons work correctly on a third party mouse.

sounds like a lot of hassle to use windows... when it already works fine out of the box with a dell.
 
I heard he made some of those dell commercials during the actors strike way back when... so he was like, kicked out of acting or something.

Actually, loading windows via parallels or bootcamp is actually pretty easy.. Even if you don't have a slimmed down, unattended version of XP, they both can automate the process for you. Besides, I rarely boot XP.. Most of the time it is not needed. Gaming and the odd app is about the only thing you'd need it for.
