Is that your real DAD or your Grandfather?
Enter the real world. Most schools use a Mac whether in grammar School or college.
The Mac Laptop is the choice in college these days for music and graphics.
Photos? Use Adobe Photoshop. The premier photo editing software in the world. The software is available for a PC also. You can purchase a school edition at a low cost. Same goes for any software you choose.
MSX for the Mac is great!
Music is another area. Want to compose or just copy downloads for your ipod?
Great software available from Apple.com.

Ask Bob Proffitt (one of our Mods), his son is recently in collage and Bob uses both the PC and Mac. Bob can give you in-depth and insight on what to purchase going to college for you as well as others here.
Good luck in college. Enter todays society and technology.
Say hello to you father for me?from one Dad to another.

Im looking at the new Macbook 1.83ghz white. My dad is steering me away from Apple because "we're living in a PC world". He says that the best choice for me is a PC laptop because Mac's arn't compatible with todays society. I'm going to use this laptop to make projects for school, make music, make photos, MSN, mostly teenager stuff but i dont want to cheap out on a laptop. I have no problem spending the money but my Dad is. Is there anyone here that can help me with my decision, am i making a wrong choice with this laptop.
