This is best place to get shopping help for new PCs, honest !!!


Gotta buy my only PC, being I already have a stable of Macs.

Went down to "comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy" for help, no one there.

Downright spooky.

Seems all the PC guys are up here.

Need a PC laptop, any size, with these min' features:
(built in, not added via a plug-in card)

1) 512MB ram (would like more, say 2GB, hopefully ECC ram)
2) USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
3) Ethernet 10/100/1000 autosense, full duplex
4) Firewire 400 and 800
5) High speed DVD read _and_ write, plus ordinary CDs
6) At least 120GB fast quiet internal drive
7) A seperate DVD with Windows XP Pro plus SP1 and SP2,
but this DVD _minus_ all the nagware 3rd-party junk
that normally comes with Windows, so I can load up the PC
minus all the 3rd party junk that normally comes with it.


Now watch, fellers. I will be mobbed with advice on exactly what
machine to buy to get all these features that we have come to expect on
our Macs, proving beyond a shadow of doubt that there is little or no
difference between Macs and PCs.

Mark-
