Well I can't help it if my parents insist on paying.
I've offered to chip in.
I have to dissagree with the "PC's suck" remark. I think it all depends on the manufacturer. There are very well built PCs. I'm using one.
(Well, except for the motherboard that seems to have integrated its own ethernet port. Thankfully it had a slot where you could put a new one in... darn lightning strike)
But as long as my parents are willing to pay I'm springing for Mac. When I'm on my own and my mac craps out, then if I'm on a budget I'll get a PC.
