Lappys died.....The darkside beckons which Mac

VC:
Currently, Apple’s stock is at an all time high. A share today is worth over 40 times its value seven years ago. So, how much would you have today if you purchased stock instead of an Apple product?

The Apple PowerBook G3 250 was released on Nov 10, 1997 for £3712  If you bought £3712 worth of Apple stock instead of that PowerBook, that stock would be worth about £215,308 today.

I'm not a Mac user but I think the first 6 are straightforward.
No.7 may be interesting though. Are they VPN clients or similar? If so I guess it depends whether there are Mac equivalents.
Failing that either dual boot to WIndows on VMWare will be your answer. :smiley:

VMWare fusion running XP on the Mac for RSA stuff is how I get around this, works a treat  :happy2:

Did it with the avatar film last night, unbelievable quality

Thats an expensive way of watching Blu-Ray  :confused: :confused:

Why not just buy a Blu-Ray player for around £300 :P

@Dave - A macbook like the one linked by NB07 should suit your needs just fine.

Honestly once you convert you will wonder why it took you so long. The only reason i have VMWare Fusion 3 is for VCDS, REVO Select Plus and a couple of work things otherwise i wouldn't bother.

Carl :happy2:

Agreed!

I'm a designer which means I'm supposed to worship Macs. I have both on my desk at work and I rarely even turn the Mac on.

Because he needs a new laptop, and wants it to watch films on etc, plus with the blueray option you can hit two birds with one stone without having to spend 300 sheets on a new blueray player as well.
