@sunny: I forgot to mention. If you are getting an external drive, do try and get one with Firewire instead of USB.
- It's faster
- you get a Firewire cable for future purposes
- keeps the USB ports free for pen drives and such.

Firewire right??
thanks.People in this apple thread are very helpful.
in fact this whole forum is full of helpful people.
My Dad called a computer person in his office to verify if he could run XP on his macbook or not.
the guy said that 'dhakke se chalegi' which means it'll not run well.
i told my dad that it'll run well on bootcamp.
Just to verify im asking if XP would run well or not?
my dad uses tally a lot.i asked him today.so he needs XP.

Dhakke se chalegi? What's he talking about! This is the exact problem with why Macs don't penetrate beyond certain circles. It's cause good for nothing PC-wallas go ahead and spread such shmuck about the Mac.
When I was first going to buy my iBook, my PC guy was like "hey, the stuff isn't compatible. Even a Photoshop document you have to convert before you can open it on the mac" and such things. But finally I went to the store, they allowed me to get my files on a flash drive and work on one of the iMac G5's for like an hour. Everything worked perfectly.
Now, as for your XP on bootcamp, it runs more than perfectly. Thing is, even if you get a normal PC, you have to hunt around the place for drivers and such. But with Bootcamp on a Mac, since everything is factory installed, there are absolutely no driver conflicts, you don't have to hunt around for stuff. The installation I guarantee is simpler than installing on a normal PC...

Yes, and specifically FireWire 800. Don't buy one that only has FireWire 400.Sunny1211993 said:
That "computer person" knows nothing about Macs. He is just as good as you are. In fact, you probably know more than he does.Sunny1211993 said:
Windows XP runs better on a Mac than it does on a PC. PC World recently declared that "the fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac". Show that link to your father.

Take some time and use that Mac that your is gonna buy and I can guarantee you that you'll be stunned.
I don't advise anyone to go by the words of PC-wallas, they guys most of the time look for opportunities to loot PC nOObs. If you guys go mac than his business is definitely goanna Dhakke se chalegi!!
