There is no real problem choosing either Mac or PC, except that more games are written to the PC platform. Mac is particularly well-suited to the laptop platform where there aren't many hardware upgrades and such. The latest Mac displays are beautiful.

I had changed to IE-7, and when I upgraded to Service Pack 3, it didn't change it back to 6. Should it have? Not that I wanted it to, just wondering if Service Pack 3 installed properly

If this is open source, where everybody can have their hand in the pot, how do you get updates automatically? Is there somebody running the show?
