I'm afraid I have to admit I like my PC. Vista isn't as much of a hassle as it was made out to be, the only thing I lost was my scanner, which wasn't compatible with the 64 bit. @Nez: Ahhh, I envy you folks who buy refurbished goods and have everything work out just fine!

I'd been a PC user for the lonnnnnnngest time, dealing with what people has come to accept as "normal": blue screens of death, frustrating-oh-c'mon-I-have-to-do-what?! routines, etc. When Apple made the switch to Intel, I made mine. Haven't looked back, and have saved tons -- and I mean tons -- of time. For instance, upgrading a new hard drive in my Mac Pro tower? 5 minutes. Oh, and I got a refurbished model to save moola. Other than a sticker on top which I removed, you can't tell me it wasn't brand new! <abbr><em><abbr><em>Nez´s last blog post...<a href="http://www.nezsez.com/barack-obama-and-web-2-0/" rel="nofollow">Barack Obama and Web 2.0</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Absolutely.

Backups of equipment is a good idea. I have the new comp, the old comp (which still works and would do in a pinch), the laptop and my roomie's comp...and if I REALLY had to, I could drive across town to use my parent's comp. If your old equipment is still usable, definitely don't toss it. It's good to have a stockyard to scavenge parts! @Chris: I was attached too, and fearing Vista and the thought of transferring all my programs and stuff. Hmm...there's a post in that...anyway, let it go, sometimes it's just better to go shopping! @John: Hell, I've had mine for nearly 24 hours now and I'm sure it's already outdated! @WriterDad: Yeah, I kinda felt that way after I watched Pirates 3.

I forget to put my money where it counts. I scrimp on stuff I shouldn't, so I finally had enough and I'm getting my website redesigned and after all the kinks are worked out I'm going to have Men with Pens do a review.

The old adage time is money is never truer or more applicable than having the right tool for the job. I'm nearly due for a new computer myself and my main hesitation is that, well, I've grown attached! I know there are better and faster machines out there, though. A shopping trip maybe this weekend?

I keep thinking they're on the way out like phone-cords and dial-up but then every couple of weeks some client wants to fax me something in. I have to dance around the process of scanning and emailing. Pain in the butt. I ought to grow up and get one. <abbr><em>Christopher Garlingtons last blog post..Things To Play With When You’re Not WorkingI Surf the Web So You Don’t have To</em></abbr> For me its a fax machine.

Nothing is more important than our minutes; every one wasted, sixty seconds forever stripped from our souls. I work on two computers, one upstairs and one down. The angel and the devil. I've found that it's often better to wait. If I don't have access to the faster computer, unless it's something super pressing, it's better just to wait until I can do the job efficiently. <abbr><em>Writer Dads last blog post..We The People</em></abbr> I couldn’t agree more, Harry.
