Consumer Reports

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Related to the last post, I found a copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports in the office and took a peek at their ratings. They rate a Gateway number 1, Toshiba 2nd, IBM 3rd and a Dell 4th, with the Dell being the “best buy” because it’s 400-600 dollars cheaper than the others. Pretty much follows what I’ve been hearing in the comments and what I was thinking, although the Gateway being top of the list surprised me a little.

Thanks to everyone who’s commented so far, and keep ’em coming! 🙂

    As Dana pointed out, this is an interesting article about Microsoft adding a built-in virus scanner to Windows XP SP2. I’m torn, obviously. On one hand, for all those home users who never seem to be able to use AV properly, maybe this isn’t such a bad thing. Although many still won’t remember to update…

    After a planned three-day weekend and an un-planned illness caused me to also miss Friday, making for a long 4 day weekend, I returned to the office this morning to find that nothing’s broken. That’s a good thing. There was something broken on Friday, as someone decided that Friday, without me being around, would be…

  • Thunderbird

    I have only used Thunderbird for about two days when I noticed that version 0.4 was available over the weekend. I don’t know whether it’s better, I was still figuring out what was in 0.3 so I don’t really know what’s new, but I downloaded it and replaced the 0.3. Consider this your head’s up…
