That's as may be, but some of us need PCs for our work, so MSFT has us locked in.

Yes, but that's on a W2K machine, right? Nice to know, but the story might be quite different on XP... Just in case - any specific sound/audio settings?

Not true Grimslade. There is nothing a PC user can do that I can not do with my Mac. I have Office for Mac and it is much, much better than the Windows version. Mac has the Aqua interface and it is simply beautiful to use and oh so fast. My friend with a 2.5 ghz machine is surprised at how fast my 1.5 ghz Mac is. How it can run rings around him. By the way, I use my Mac at work all the time. My co-workers are jealous. No viruses, worms, or Blue Screens of Death.

Well... You know what? It just started working!!! I did not change anything, I just tried another time - and voila!

I think I know one trick: it becomes crazy when you try to use it full-duplex, as in the Hardware Test Program. When I speak for Windows' Sound Recorder, I can't hear a think while I am speaking, but when I play the file, i can hear my voice clear and loud enough. Now, I am willing to try it on Skype. If somebody would be willing to help me test it, I'd be grateful. My Skype name is hummer_3dnews. Can we give it a shot, Skype users?

And yet another glitch...

I can't get my PC Sync up and running after having installed MSI with Widcomm drivers. PC Sync pretends there are no bluetooth phones around... I guess the problem may be in conflicting BT Serial Ports, any ideas how to fix this?

as sapporobaby says.

also, if you are using yr laptop for business, then think of these things:
1.mac it starts up quicker: somebody needs to check a file. you turn yr pc on. with all that anti-virus shite the company puts on it to protect you from yr fellow winbloz world, you with yr mac start up in under 55 secs, access the file, have the info, continue with the meeting, or the conversation in the taxi, or with yr meal. your billgates machine hasnt even gotten to the login screen yet.
2. virtually unhackable. hotel lans are great to see who is on the net. read yr boss's resume on his machine. feerlessly send out yr own without having it read.
3. 95% of the company people who come out to our asian offices have not a clue as to how to set up their machines for anything except the pre-set up lan connection. setting it up to be able to access the widely available wi-fi lans in place? they havent a clue. mac: two lines of numbers, and yr on.

so, if you are serious about business, or gaining competitive advantage versus yr competetion, get a mac and get serious.

You guys misunderstand me. My company issues me an IBM laptop. And we use software that does not exist in Mac versions. To do my job, I need a PC. Believe me.
