Im stuck between getting a windows Computer or an apple computer. I am a freshman in college and I am planning on transferring to a university. I am currently doing accounting as my major but I am interested in law and maybe want to try to get in to law school in the future. I need a computer and i have been needing one a lot for papers and accounting homework. I will also use it for Music and movies but not for gaming. I have always had windows in the past but experienced problems. Should i just switch to Apple or are the newer windows computers better and if so what brand would be best.

Macs are nice. I don’t own one anymore, I use windows, but the quality of the computer is really good. (an example would be the power cord on my Laptop was a magnet, it didn’t plug in, and therefor could never become lose).

But take this into consideration
1) Macs are expensive. They are kind of like a social statement.
2) Its often a misconception that macs are impervious to viruses. This is not true. Macs don’t have as many viruses as windows because 99% of the population used Windows for decades. Macs are now just becoming popular. So obviously people are going to program viruses for what 99% of people use (at the time).

I love windows 7. I haven’t loved an OS this much since windows 98.

So its all up to you. They both have strengths and weaknesses.

I am trying to design a 3D interactive website on my own (no previous Computer knowledge). What computer languages do I need to learn?
In my research it came up as Java, HTML, Code. Can some one with a background in Computer programming suggest please?

No doubt Adobe Flash, you can use Java, but the truth is quite complicated if you do not have programming skills yet.

I identify with your question because I have done many animations for Web pages with 3D designs in Adobe Flash, which you can learn to use much faster than any programming language, since most of the 3D images and animations can be created without writing a single line of code.

Also on the same page you will find tutorials to quickly start making your website.

You can do the whole page in Flash and easily insert it into an HTML page, or you can do only certain things in Flash and use a CMS to make a page truly professional. A CMS helps you create a very professional web site without writing a single line of code.

For this you can use different open source systems that are based on HTML, CSS and PHP, such as Wordpress or Joomla, Joomla is powerful, but Wordpress is fairly quick and easy to use, I think is your best choice to start, you can create a website in minutes.

My husband and I would like to purchase a new desktop computer. The one we have is getting pretty outdated and it is time for a new one. We would like to purchase a new Computer tower, printer, and speakers. We have the keyboard and the computer screen. We are looking for the best bang for our buck, but we also want to get something that is reliable and has good user Reviews. Also, does anyone know if you can purchase a computer that already has Microsoft Office installed? We don’t need anything super fancy as we are mostly using it for recreational purposes. Any advice, help, or suggestions are appreciated.

what is your budget?
you can email me at dcustompc@yahoo.com I can build you one and ship it to you (2 year warranty, and cheaper than any other companies)

what do you mean microsoft office already installed? which version?
