I've had no fuss whatsoever with mine, although I would recommend that you install Firefox for your browser; Safari is the only application that ever crashes on me.<BR/><BR/>If you go the PC route, I highly recommend that you go with Dell. Their hardware is solid (in all categories), and although it's faint praise, their tech support is the best of any that I've dealt with. I'm a buyer for a technology company, so I deal with all of these companies all the time both on the purchasing side and getting repairs done, so please benefit from the many frustrating hours I've spent with some of these companies. My experience with HP, which would be my next highest PC recommendation, has generally been that each person you talk gets info from you and then decides that they are not the one that can help you and passes you on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107377454211431928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095284393772305956.post-31282104792717732292008-03-14T17:57:00.000-04:002008-03-14T17:57:00.000-04:00la chingona--Ah, sorry to disappoint, but I may ha...la chingona--Ah, sorry to disappoint, but I may have slightly exaggerated the depths to which our household technology had sunk.

I have such fond memories of Oregon Trail (yes, I even "bought the shirt" that has a covered wagon and says "You Have Died Of Dysentery" AND playing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on my old C64.
