Maybe it isn't so much bashing of the alternatives as it is let's use the best
box for what you
are doing.   If I did attach a scanner and a 21 inch monitor - wait a second, I
do have a scanner
and a 21 inch monitor attached to my PC and it runs like crap after that... oh,
sorry wrong thread...

Anyway, let's use PC's for what they are good at; showing pretty pictures,
printing pretty pictures,
scanning in pretty pictures... and use HP3000's for what they are good at -
namely running your business.
