For that kinda money you could get a sweet Mac AND buy MS Office!
Save yourself years of agony!!!!!!!
Come over to the side of good and light turbo..... leave the darkness of Windows behind!!!!
Its not too late!!!
P.S. I hear they use Mac's in heaven so you may as well get used to them now.
Will it have a printer and scanner? Will I have enough left over to buy PhotoShop?
I haven't had much luck finding prices for macs online. The choices seem pretty limited.
There's this eMac™ G4 with 17" Display for $1000, and there's this iMac® G4 with 20" Display for $2000, but I don't see much in between.
There is this Power Mac® with PowerPC G5 Processor 1.6GHz for $1600, but it doesn't even come with a monitor, let alone a printer.
I suppose I should give Lion a call an ask if he can help.
What do you recommend, Knight?
(that Sony would cost $1880 with a 19" panel, after rebates. With the 17", it would be around $1750.)

I would reccomend getting the 17 inch iMac.
$1795 at CDW.

Then get something like a...
HP printer/scanner/copier http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=507734
For around $179.90
And then get your MS office and photoshop on eBay when you get the chance.
But at least then you will have a rockin machine and printer and scanner etc.
Which alternative are yall talking about?
There's OpenOffice.org, Star Office, Corel...
I actually avoid office apps as much as possible. I'm certainly not a desktop publisher! (Though some assume that since I like computers that I also like to make that silly powerpoint junk.) A pure text editor is all I need 99% of the time.

Or go with the 15 inch PowerBook....

That way you could take it with you on trips to Colorado.

:ha: That would have been funny! The closest we got to a computer was the digital camera Turbo's parents bought for us!

On one hand, I know that Turbo will probably be frustrated having to convert all his stuff to a different computer with a different system, not to mention the frustration of trying to figure out how to use a Mac (I have to live with him ya know). :nono:
But on the other hand, if he has to learn the Unix system it will be one more thing under his belt. Plus, he does well with figuring out how to use computer stuff, it might just take some patience. (Patience is hard for him when he so badly wants to post on TOL, though. :doh: )

Learning to use a Mac is like learning how to eat or drink from a cup... it just comes naturally!
