I've been looking into Dell XPS / Precision v.s. Alienware. The XPS is more to my price liking but don't really like the limited options namely the video card and the Vista. I do like the duo Intel chip though. Alienware is popular among gamers too but i've read some good and bad reviews on the net about their service. too many choices. maybe I should have been and this wouldn’t have happened… I’ve been looking into Dell XPS / Precision v.s.

My Dell crashed for the 2nd time in a week today and won't reinstall this time. after 6.5 years I guess its time for a new one. :-( My hang up is that Windows Vista scares me from what I have read on NPN. Ill have to read your other post to get some ideas for what I need. now I’m looking at the Falon Northwest website right now too.

Erin, great to hear from someone from SimpleTech! We have a bunch of those external drives - 3 of them at three separate locations each! I think I will do a separate post on the topic - I have never had a single problem with one of your drives - I like to talk up good products! Carl - You don't think the cold had anything to do with me slipping out do you :) Thanks bro. Mark - I wondered how networking a Mac and PC would work - glad it went so smooth and that you are so happy with your new machine! Rick - I will never pass up a beer! I really appreciate the kind words. Hey thanks everyone for the comments!

You really bought another PC? Not a Mac? No wonder you raced off to the 'outside' without showing your face up here. :) :) Seriously, congrats on the computer, and best of luck with it. I know a new toy is always a treat. Have a good and safe trip. Cheers Carl Hey Ron,

I can't tell everyone enough to backup, backup, backup your content and beautiful photos. Being in the storage industry for almost 10 years now, I've heard tragic stories of people losing their cherished digital content... all it takes is one unfortunate incident and they’ll never let their data go unprotected again. Glad to see you’re ahead of the game. Like most photographers, I see you’re on the road a lot…Maybe you need a Black Cherry, Kiwi, Blueberry, Cool Mint, Bubblegum or Marshmallow Portable USB 2.0 Drive - http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006225.html? Take care, and here’s wishing you good exposure, interesting vantage points and lots of storage! Erin Hartin Corporate Communications Fabrik, parent company of SimpleTech, G-Tech and Joggle Ron,

Glad to hear everything is working out. It is quite a pleasant surprise when you just plug things in and they work like they are supposed to without any fiddling around. Usually my experiences are quite the opposite, but it is like a breath of fresh, mountain air when it happens. I was hooking up my MacPro last night, a bit nervous about how it would connect to my home network setup by my PC - and whatdayaknow - the PC showed up right there on the Mac - I browsed some shared drives on my PC, it was really surprising. I will eventually have to decide if I also want a Windows install on another drive.... Vista still has me nervous. 64 bit is definitely tempting because I eventually plan on having quite a bit of RAM. I probably would only install a Windows partition for games, so I am still a bit undecided. BTW, killer shot!!
