If you had a choice between a mac and a pc with the exact same amount of memory, space, screen size, etc., which would you choose? Just Curious.

In additon to using it for standard tasks such as web surfing, MS Office tools, etc, I'm getting into video editing, music, photos and all things creative. It seems anything creative is better done on a MAC. MAC just seems more cutting edge. Would love to hear some opinions.

I have only one hd 85Gb. I followed the instructions given in the other posts (http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20070912125332AAFqbGX)
and checked if the plastic jumper is at the correct set of spins -> its like here [ : | : : . ] then I checked if the hd is connected properly. It's connected to IDE1 connector and CDROM to the secondary IDE2 connector on the mother board. In BIOS I set primary IDE master as hd, and secondary IDE slave as CD/DVD, then I left with nothing secondary IDE master , and in secondary IDE slave there were some letters and numbers like GCR8523B whatever it means. After rebooting the error disappeared but the comp started to rebooting over and over again. I can't open BIOS anymore as anytime I press the buttons on the keyboard it's not reacting but just doing the same which is coming to a moment when it reboots again. When it starts I can see : auto detecting prim.master-hard disk,sec. master-not detected,sec.slave-CDROM HELP ME PLS

Hopefully somebody can give me insight in to this general problem.

Even after I go to printer setup and select Tray 2 (multi-purpose-feed), it ends up printing from Tray 1. This only occurs with a particular word file I'm trying to print, normally I have no problem printing to the different trays by going to printer setup.

Printer: Dell 3110cn
Document: Word 2003, avery business card template
OS: Windows Vista

This is the first time that I'm going to be at a hotel with my laptop. They say that they only have dial-up. What do I need to do and what should I bring along so I can still be hooked up to the net?

I am going to take some desktop computer components from US on an International flight.

I was confused as to whether I should carry them in my 'Check-in' baggage or as 'Carry-on' baggage.

I'm taking with me these components: RAM, Motherboard, Intel CPU, Video Card, Wireless Mouse, Hard Disk.

If any of you guyz have travelled before with such stuff, plz advice me as to whether is it safe to put these parts in 'check-in' baggage? Do any of these break or get damaged if you carry them in 'Check-in' baggage?

Also, if I carry these individual parts (not assembled) as Carry-on luggage, will I have some problem with the airport security people? (F.Y.I. these are generally available, cheap to average cost components.) Are these allowed to be taken as carry-on luggage? If not, then which of these is not allowed?

Thanx a lot in advance.
