| 160105 | 2003-07-16 00:50:00 | Gill, Our school have just recently started using this. The teachers have each been supplied with a Toshiba. From what I see as student, they're pretty happy with it. Although I have seen them experience trouble due to our wireless internet, etc. school networks. But that has meant little, like shifting 2 metres left or right, etc. |

| 160106 | 2003-07-16 00:53:00 | My preference is for IBM Thinkpads. Much more solidly built. They have better on web support and more OS's are supported. see www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/CategoryDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&cgmenbr=1&cntry=554&lang=en_NZ&cgrfnbr=2056943]IBM (commerce-29.[url) Thinkpads[ You can get a basic one for $1600 |

| 160107 | 2003-07-16 01:11:00 | All the full time teachers at our school got free laptops from the government. They were quite good too. DVD burners and graphics cards and everything. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 160108 | 2003-07-16 01:12:00 | IBM is not too bad. Known for their upgradabilities with the drive options. Toshiba is good. I have come to visit some shops. and they used to stock IBM and not any more, saying they too tight in mgmt styles. that any repairs needs to be sent back to Auckland in their Penrose branch even when people can do them in the outlet efficiently. Best laptop companies tend to stock Toshiba and IBM with a cheaper option of Acer. No comments on Acer tho. Compaq - i have frens who have experienced with palm rest heats and another with buggy software or hardware. They bought cos, they really like the price and the screen was v good. N. |

Then I managed to find a Windows port of a Linux Port of the game I wanted to play :D If I had the chance I'd probably have a Mac instead of this PC. They're brilliant for word/excel and web browsing. If you don't play all that many games I'm sure most people could do all they need with a Mac. Now if only they were easy to build up yourself and didn't cost so much. *really wants to use MacOS X |

| 160111 | 2003-07-16 01:34:00 | > So where is Virtual Mac for PCs? The reason for Virtual PC is that not all PC programs are are available for the Mac which is understandable as market forces dictate this. What would be the point in a Virtual Mac for PC's unless there was something for Mac that was not available for a PC There is actually a Virtual PC for windows here (www.connectix.com) but it does not run Mac > When the day comes that you can build your own Mac as > easily as you can build a PC then Macs might make > some headway. This is actually one of the strong points of the Mac as all components in a Mac are designed by Apple to work together to give maximum reliability and performance. As many of the posts in this forum show problems arise when components made by different manufactures are used as replacements or upgrades and compatability issues then occur and all type of problems result. |

| 160114 | 2003-07-16 02:30:00 | Sorry fellas You missed the point. All Macs come with virtual PC because they need it to survive in a PC-centric business world. PCs don't come with virtual Mac because the business community does not require it. I did not doubt the existence of such software, I was pointing out its absence from any mainstream PC operating systems or commercial packages. As a consolation prize, here is an interesting URL (www.rklco.com) ;\ Cheers Billy 8-{) ]:) |
