So, I spent my lunch hour at Best Buy, since it is the only place near here where I can get my hands on an actual Mac.
I told Mr. Geek what I wanted it for. We talked and played and I don't know, I guess Mac is not what I need. For what I wanted if for and the extra software to get it to interface correctly with certain games and the off chance that I may need to do some office work from home, I was looking at $1500 for the small one.

I could have got away with the basic one, but I don't think it would have worked for me.
So, I moved back over to the PC side. Armed with the info that The
DH gave me, I set forth to find a deal. And what a deal I got! This is my new baby
Toshiba - Satellite Laptop with AMD Turion 6
She is so shiny and pretty. I can't wait to take her home tonight and abuse her
Now, if I could only find a good high speed ISP, I will be in business. It SUCKS to live in the boondocks. I will be trying out
MIL's tonight, not sure if I wanted to take the plunge with that company yet.
