thanks
thanks muchly for the suggestions, including the ever popular mtfu. i was ``forced'' by the incessant whining, er, pleasant suggestions of my wife. i see many attractions to the mac. it seems like a fairly elegant OS, the video and sound cards are great, the fact there's no tower is wonderful. but none of these things are why i need a computer. i work as a writer and sub editor. so the main reason i use a computer is for writing and sub editing, which are both fairly keyboard-heavy tasks. i can't afford to have a typo in every other word. if i had time to learn a new keyboard, it would be ok, but i'm in the middle of 3 major projects, which is why this is so goddamn frustrating. i think i'll probably take the suggestion of getting a usb keyboard and mouse for a pc, and seeing how that works. and yes, i shall mtfu.
