Apple or Win7

My theory is you buy the latest, beefed up machine you can. Then it won't go obsolete as soon and you'll save money by extending the use of each machine longer.

My current machine is a Dell Studio XPS 1645. I should have waited a few weeks before upgrading as the newer ones have a newer video card that can drive two monitors using HDMI.

I just upgraded to a BIG DELL monitor that claims to 2560 x 1600 resolution. An older machine would have never supported this, but because I bought the latest and greatest over a year ago, it worked at this resolution.

With the Dell PC there are always new add-ons like newer external keyboards and mice. I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 and am impressed with the Bluetrack technology. See - http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en...ack-technology.

My goal in buying stuff is to discover a feature that I want and find that it is already included in what I've bought. This keeps me from buying something new, and hopefully saving money.Think Excel and needing a function or feature and realizing it is already there. This is why we use Excel instead of non-standard databases or spreadsheets.

I just took delivery of the 5000 Wireless Desktop for when I've got my laptop running through my big plasma and it's great.
