[QUOTE="Huggs, post: 810220, member: 88926"] Alright, well i'm getting a fairly good idea. Also I would go to an Apple Store and badger them with these questions instead but, I'm in swiftcurrent Saskatchewan right now. How i'm planning to purchase my new laptop is at the end of my program I receive a grant of 1000$ and then I can work for a week or three for the other cash. Also for those interested, Katimavik is a youth volunteer program available to Canadians. You need to apply and if selected you spend 9 months travelling around Canada. You spend three months in three spots, one of which must be a french Community. One also travels with other katimavik youth, living with up to 11 others. You volunteer at community placements 9-5 mon-fri. You earn three dollars a day, but your rent is payed for and you have a food budget. (6.11$ a day). If you finish the program you receive a 1000$ grant. So yeah right now I'm in the midst of the program (5 months in) and only have my iPod Touch. But I do need to buy the laptop when I finish. So to summarize what i've been told was that MACS are generally easier to use, safer, more expensive and not as compatible though you are capable to load a windows OS though it is a hassle. (Is this available on laptops, or just the actual towers). For a firewire, i've no real experience with them, but aren't these just USBs with faster transfer rates? Also, not to nitpick but how does MSN run on macs? and other windows software, such as office, and converting certain documents (excel, etc.) thanks again for all the advice. [/QUOTE]
