Relax, that was just a joke intended to antagonize RV.

Er... that's the norm these days. Has been for years. If you find a motherboard without an ethernet port on it chances are the motherboard you're looking at is more than five years old or exceptionally poorly designed. And of course it had slots -- almost all computers have PCI slots. It's a very basic expansion card slot that supports just about anything.

Truthfully, I very much doubt you will be able to go back to Windows after using Mac OS X for a period of years. I'm already completely attached and I've only been at it for months. I would go to just about any length to avoid returning to the world of PCs.

Also, in reference to your Mac "crapping out," well, let's just say I'm still waiting for my 1998 iMac to crap out on me. I might be waiting a long time.
