so that she doesn't have to go to the other end of the house every time she needs to use her computer either.
So here's the deal - while I have never had a virus on any of my personal computers and have not had any spyware/adware in maybe 2 years now - no matter how I set up her computer, every 3-6 months, I have to "fix" it - as in by that time she'll have 3-5 viruses and 30-100 pieces of spyware/adware on her machine. (Don't ask me how.)
So, anyway, for my own selfish reasons of not having to deal with either Vista nor yet another windows machine I will have to "fix" as she puts it, I want to get her a MacBook.
She, meanwhile, wants a windows machine since she already knows windows ( NOT - all she knows is Firefox, yahoo messenger and a couple of games like Luxor and Jewel Quest). Plus she is thinking she would rather have a 15" screen. And, to be honest, although we would get the education discount, a $500-600 windows machine would be more than adequate for her uses.
What do ya'll think?
