Hi. I’m a Mac.
And yet, when it comes to a few select game titles (two in particular) that are graphics intensive, the Mac (using Windows within a virtual machine) doesn’t quite cut it. Years of fighting that made me realize one simple thing: I could just spend some money on a true PC and have that problem go away completely. So I did.
Its been a long time since I bought a PC for my home. I went to Dell’s website, found the best deal I could. I was impressed at how easy it is to configure the PC (and how easy it is to slowly add a lot of $ to the total! — “for $40 you can have… GREAT, thanks… now for $60 you can have…”).
While I expected that they’d try to sell me some USB memory sticks, a monitor and printer, I didn’t expect to see either of these:
…or these…
I imagine there are people out there financing their new computer and a $9 DVD over the course of a few years. Not my idea of smart money, but hey, whatever.
The process was quite easy although I was surprised how long it would take to arrive. I didn’t get anything fancy and was told it would take nearly a month “or later.” It’ll be interesting to see exactly how long it takes to arrive.

PeeCees are only good as a toy for kids to play with. I like the Microsoft commercials that prove that people need to be bribed to buy PeeCees. People with work to do use Macs.
