I think it was Jean-Paul Sartre who once said, "U FAIL @ LIFE"

Some other american founding father also said "I SMELL A TROLL"

1) burning CDs: yes
2) Floppies? who stil uses them? flash drives are the floppies of the time
3) They can run XP, through VPC yes
4) Battlefield 2? hahahaha

1) Macs start at £359/$499 for a mac mini, and go all the way up to £16000/$25000
2) You can burn cd's on all macs, and many will also burn dvds and dual layer dvds
3) Floppy drives? Are you crazy? They havent been in macs for years! You save stuff on the hard drive/usb drive/cd/internet server
4) They dont run windows! They are macs, they run Mac OSX, which is far superior to windows. Yes you can 'connect' to a windows computer and control it from the mac, but unless you use 'virtual pc', you cannot run windows on a mac
5) Battlefield 2 - dont know

Hopefully naturenut will benefit from OS X's on-the-fly spell checker.
