To add fuel to the fire [message #78260]

So, I had to set up XP on a Mac Book today. The child of an important person
on my office had one and, surprise, most of the games a 12 year old likes
to play don't have Mac versions.

So, once and for all I can put to rest the notion that Apple hardware is
somehow 'super special' and thus justifies the higher price. Intel chipset,
Intel integrated graphics, Atheros wireless, Marvell NIC, generic firewire
controller. The CD/DVD burner was the slot loading kind, so that's slightly
cool (unless you want to pop out the CD before the machine boots when it's
nice to have a physical switch), but that's about the only thing unusual
about the hardware. If you were to show me the XP device list for a Mac Book
and the same list from a Dell 640m (two of which I've also set up recently)
I would have given a _slight_ preference to the Dell, mostly because it uses
an Intel wireless chipset that does b/g/n and bluetooth on one chip, and
I've had very good luck with those wireless cards. A 640m also has a larger
screed and costs around $750.

In better news, I wound up on modular synth dreamland for about five hours
last night, wiring up my John Bowen Pro Wave into modular patches and using
it to feed vocoders and all of the things that make computer recording worth
it. Then I forgot to save the presets, but hey, that's the way it goes.
