Thanks a lot,
I don't know what RAM is but I'll definately look into buying it seperately. I intern at an IT company so they have so computer savvy people there that probably know how to make computers.

I understand the boot camp download but the problem is the darn windows I don't want to buy it. I mean i know a million people do it illegally but I don't know where to get what i need. I actually bought MS office, the student edition, so I'll I can put that on my other computer when I get it. It says I can use it 3 times woo-hoo.

I guess the office will be on the windows side of it then. Why would someone use the MAC OS over windows? What is better about Mac and whats better about windows?

As for the software, the site on the computer stuff at UMD.edu is pretty piss poor. I don't understand half of it. It seems like it is talking to the teachers and not the students. The teachers get everything free but I don't know what they mean for the students. I'll figure it out, i'll e-mail them or something

Are there any good Intel macs comming out soon or before august? Also are there any other computers that I should look at or rule out? Any companies that really suck or are really good?

Thanks
