Mac rules. Been using them for decades. Tried that PC stuff, but I felt ill afterwards and returned home.
Never a problem in 25 yrs; seriously.

I don't know what IBM’s are like for gaming, but I haven’t had any issues with them for general office and internet use.

Yeah... that's what I'm planning to do next time I get a new one... just build it myself. It's def the better way to a gaming PC, plus it saves me money.

I have a complete dell computer system.

I often use firefox a search engine like exporer. Does anyone know why firefox freezes up at all? Please let me know if you do. Thanks.

Firefox? Freezing? I have a heavily modded Firefox and it runs perfectly. Now if Explorer would run perfectly (not like I need it anymore with NeXplorer, which I really like, but has no desktop UI)...

I have the flashblock for firefox and it works like a charm in cutting down on flash ads, which make up the majority of ads anymore. The main problem is that, even after enabling video, it does seem to interfere with many streaming flash videos. I usually end up having to switch the rendering engine or open up internet explorer separately to watch videos, which is frustrating to say the least.

I use Firefox on a HP / Compaq running Windows XP. I've never had any problems with Firefox.

Have you ever tried the browser "Opera"? Maybe that would work better for you.

Opera is the bomb. I've been using it for years now, and it's painful for me to use anything else even just for a little bit. I'm so used to all the little things Opera does that other browsers don't, at least without extensions.

iTunes. The ease of use and variety of options make this my music player of choice. Apple provides this program for Mac and PC. If you have not tried iTunes, i recommend you give this freeware a chance. Is there any other iTunes fans out there?

Windows XP Service Pack 3 crashed my computer. My computer would not boot Windows after the installation. I had to reinstall the operating system. Did anyone else have problems with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

In case you have not heard, some computer makers have replaced the hard drive with flash memory. Let's hope these solid state drives catch on.

Not to be pedantic, but this ain't true. Solid-state drives have been around for a long time now, and as far as mainstream availability goes Dell and Asus at least were there months before Apple. I've been hearing about PC companies coming out with these babies since last year.
