    What's wrong with bumping old threads?

    There's almost always no need for it. Usually the information will be well out of date. Depending on the thread subject, its usually a better idea to start fresh. Especially when this thread was almost 4 years old before it was bumped.
    I don't mind bumping old threads with important information or whatever, but in this circumstance Nate Dogg's post was unneeded

    You'll find most other forums would have closed a 4 year old thread being bumped. I was merely informing members of my views. I am the moderator for this section, and i will moderate it as i see fit.

    Maybe you should talk to Denny about what a mod is supposed to be. Ask him about "radical trust".

    Yeah, I'm not seeing what the problem is here.

    What's the point in having tens of thousands of old threads around if people can't resurrect them from time to time?

    Sorry about that Denny. Its just that almost all the information in this thread is very out dated and i was just informing them that it probably would have been a better idea to start fresh. Apologies

    It's ok, Denny loves outdated things. You should see his wardrobe.

    PC gets you far superior hardware for the money. It's an open platform so you can buy all sorts of additional hardware for it, which is also a negative - it all doesn't always work together 100% correctly.

    Mac is packaged really slick and the software is perhaps more polished and less error prone.

    Yeah basically this. PC's can be done how you want it to be. Mac's are packaged and usually packaged very well for media rather than a PC.

    Agree'd with DPGB, Acer are one of the best laptop names on the market. Other solid manufacturers are ASUS, IBM, HP and Sony. But it all depends what your looking for in a laptop.

    I have a Sager NP9280

    Specs are outrageous. Runs windows, though.

    Another one of these topics? I think they are both good. Macs generally tend to be better at work stuff like buisness and education etc... For simply an at home computer that is used more for things like gaming and entertainment, id say a windows (PC means personal computer which includes macs) would be better.
