Anybody know where I can find upgrade parts for a MAC?
Wait, I forgot, you can't upgrade anything except memory and the hard drive.
You're better off getting a PC. What programs do you need to use that are unique to MAC? Seems to me it would be a lot easier to run programs on the OS they were designed for, rather than trying to find a program to emuluate them.
If money is an issue and you just need a PC to do spreadsheets and stuff on, just get a low end PC and put Fedora Core 4 on it. Despite what people say about Linux, FC4 is a very easy install of Linux. Then, as far as a spreadsheet program goes, use OpenOffice. It's free and is compatible with Microsoft Office.
