Well after talking with one of my tech buddies we decided a pre-built unit was probably the easiest since I'm not looking to do anything spectacular with it.
He recommended this one and we went with it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883220448 |

In general, you may want to also check the lines of code from BSD in there.
Even though it is "open source," and can be used by anyone, Apple truly cannot come up with their own shit. Done with this argument, laugh on my friend, laugh on. Apple defines unoriginal and over-priced. |

Apple pioneered the OS GUI. The "Desktop" interface. The mouse. The all-in-one computer. They exploded the portable MP3 player market. They essentially built the tablet market. The iPhone was the most popular smartphone for ages, and remains one of the top. Their OS is by far the easiest to use for the general user. They led the way in desktop OS/mobile OS integration, which even Microsoft has now followed. Their App Store model has now been copied by Microsoft and others. Do you have any idea how many "Most Innovative Company" awards they've won? JFC... http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanada...company-still/ http://www.fastcompany.com/most-inno...er-electronics There are plenty of valid criticisms you could throw at Apple. But unoriginal is absolutely not one of them.

With regards to the tablet, Apple certainly wasn't the first to market, but they were the first to build the tablet around the finger being method of input instead of the stylus like Microsoft. |

Got the new computer up and running and also bought a better modem so we would get faster speeds as our was pretty dated. We had to call because our internet was dropping it's connection every 30 minutes and they informed us that our dated modem didn't support the fast connection we were paying for and that perhaps the modem wasn't able to keep up and was resetting itself every time too much data came in. Something about a 2 vs a 3 but don't remember the terminology.
Everything was working great except I get an email from our internet provider that we went over our 250GB data plan. I checked previous usage and we normally run anywhere from 1-4GB per day. However, in the past week we had days ranging from 40-80GB use in one day! So we reset the router configuration, changed the password and scanned for viruses. No viruses found like Malware that we can see. The spike in data usage started on the same day we setup the new computer. The only other thing I can think of is that we tried to DVR Fargo from DTV On-Demand that day as well but it would start. It would get halfway through and then start again. We just kept letting it do this in hopes it would work. Could that have spiked our data usage that much? Thoughts? |

We haven't changed our browsing/streaming habits at all since we put in the new computer. We simply hooked up the computer and went on the same. But the spike is clearly related to setting it up the past week, with half the week on the old modem and half the week with the new modem. |
