I have to say that I could not dissagree more with the previous statements. Before I say why, I would like to say that I currently own 2 macs and one windows computer. I know what both OS are like and have used both extensively (Mac os 9, osx, Windows 98,2000,XP). I also use Linux a lot too, although not as much as Windows and Mac. I'm not one of those self-proclaimed experts who complain about and critisize things they know nothing about. Windows is not better than Mac OSX at anything and is not better than Linux at anything except that it has a nicer looking GUI than Linux (yet windows GUI is much slower). Windows isn't even better at gaming, although there are way more games available for Windows. The same games run smoother and faster on Macs than windows with comparable stats. Windows is terribly slow and fragile, you have to have a very expensive computer to comfortably run windows xp. Windows is NOT the most user friendly os. Everyone says its the most user friendly because 90 something percent of computer users use windows. Lots of windows users use windows for years and years and then try Mac osx for two minutes and dismiss osx as hard to use. Well of course they're going to say it's hard to use because they've been using windows all their lives. Mac osx is much more user friendly than any of the windows. The applications are more accesible, the file searching is better, system settings and info are much more accessible, and to top it of, the Mac osx is faster and more streamlined.

well or me, i like linux WAY better than XP. linux and xp are on the opposite spectrums of os. XP is bloated, slow, lethargic, and unrealiable. Linux is faster, streamlined, and perfect fodder for geeks to screw around with os. however, linux drives novice computer users up the wall. it's quit amusing to watch a novice try to use fluxbox...

yeah, Windows just can't be anywhere near as good as UNIX based OS like osx and linux. microsoft has really complicated basic computing by leaving gaping holes in security to allow spyware, viruses, and other annoyences to hamper the novice computer user.

my iBook G4 has 768MB of ram and it runs fine for normal stuff like web broswing, word processing .etc, but it's not really enough for video editing and stuff. I have to use my iMac (1G ram) when i want to do video stuff. i definatly agree that you need at least 1G of ram to do video editing.

I know you can use javascript to interface with flash. is there a way to interface javascript and mysql with php?

like what kind of atributes? if you want to add a table (where you store info) do this: $query="CREATE TABLE `[table name]` ( `[column name]` [data type] ,);";mysql_query($query); for instance: $query="CREATE TABLE `contacts` ( `name` VARCHAR( 20 ) `phone number` VARCHAR( 20 ));";mysql_query($query);
