I work full-time in IT and all PC brands have lemons (most have common internal components, anyway). Day-in and day-out, I give the edge to Dell, though - he didn't create that company out of nothing by NOT giving customers a pretty good bang for the buck. If you price on their website, go to "small business", and then "smart values" on the right hand column. You'll be hard pressed to find any other deal that beats one of those on an apples-to-apples comparison. We got a friend of mine an E521 with 1Gb RAM, 160Gb drive, CD burner/DVD, AMD dual-core CPU and 19" flat screen the other day for about $650 delivered. A lot of machine for the money. Mac's are OK. They can have virus trouble, too. Just different vulnerabilities than Windows based PCs. I don't like their price premium - and I've seen them crash, too. With Windows PCs - the biggest trick to maintaining them in the long-haul is being very careful as to what software gets installed on them. The best trick for that is to create non-administrator accounts for the kids and put a password on the administrator account and don't let them have that. Most malicious software cannot be installed without administrative rights. HTH, Howard
