Ho, ho. Good one!

Now here's a question: my son is going off to college and I want to get him a portable computer. I thought I'd get him an iMac because it does everything he likes and does it easily: internet, burn cd's, connect to peripherals, print a term paper, blah, blah. But he says he'd rather have an Win 98 or some kind of Microsoft-based thing...cause there's more applications .... and all his friends have one, etc.

What should I do? I worked for Apple for nine years: I know they have good stuff that lasts a long time and that is very easy to use. I can use it, and I am very hardware challenged. About wintel machines I know nothing....

Help,

Joanna
