[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1004479, member: 24160"] As much as I like my Mac for personal computing, there is no way I could reasonably suggest that our company move to Macs in the office. We must use windows only software and necessary to our business web sites that are IE only along with hardware that requires serial connections which means serial to usb adapters. For systems with those requirements and with software that does not require even middle of the road hardware, we can get a Dell and a 22-24" widescreen monitor that historically will last from 5-6 yrs and up to 9 years in the job it's been assigned for well under $800-$1,000. We just replaced our last Pentium 3 machine a month ago, and only due to a hard drive failure. Figured it was time instead of putting another drive in it. [/QUOTE]
