    Haha.. I figured I'd get that reaction.

    2 simple reasons for me to buy a Mac. First, I do tech work for a living, and more and more people are asking me about Macs.. and I know very little/have very little experience with them.

    Second, you all know that the design is just sexy as hell!

    Oh, and I *could* run XP on it also.. so that's another bonus. Mac mini = wicked tiny HTPC.

    I posted a thread about a couple video cards in the appropriate section of the forum by the way.

    I'm gonna install Windows, get it running good, get it set up the way I want it, and then back it up so this crap doesn't happen again. Yeesh. THAT's a job for tomorrow, heh heh.

    Yes.

    Actually, I have a few months experience under my belt with Ubuntu and WINE. I only recently reinstalled Windows XP. Best decision I ever made. Not that Linux is bad or anything, I actually enjoyed Ubuntu much more than Windows XP. Aside from, you know, being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, without popping brain cells. Ah the advantages of Windows...

    By the way, WoW is compatible with WINE. But I could never get it working for some reason, so I can't say how well it worked. It doesn't seem to support modding though, so mark up another point to running WoW on a Windows machine. Although, if you could get it working on your own on Linux, that would give you at least a +5 to Linux Skillz for your Ring of Nerd. :p
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    No. I'm going to install Windows for gaming and such and try to learn how to use Linux better. I wonder if they offer classes at the college I go to... hmm...

    Haha, Zephik, good one. I found a tutorial but it isn't too clear about everything. I'm still messing around with it trying to figure it all out. I'll deal with it this evening and see if I can't get some help from a buddy of mine who uses only Linux.
