Check on Craigslist.. lots of Macs there.

yea i bought my macbook pro used for like 1100 last summer, never had any problems from it and its nearly 4 years old now

still faster than 99% of any of my friends computers that dont use macs

Yeah, I definitely want to pick up a mac for photo/video editing. My sister's got one and it handles editing way better than my pc i built up like less than a year ago.

to the OP, in case you can't source a legit XP disk + serial key (I can't remember if it'll let you keep running XP without a serial key, it's been a long time since i've done an XP fresh install. Vista will lock you out after 30 days with no key...), you can always run a linux-based windows emulator. but IIRC it won't be as responsive as regular XP. just laying out options.

1900? thats cheap. i bought my decked out macbook pro for 3300!!
we just got a G4 with dual 450MHz processors and 512 MB ram and its faster than one of our laptops that runs vista (2.0 GHz dual core, 2 GB ram)

only issue with linux is... if you are a power user... such as myself... many of the apps dont work correctly or at all.

linux is very nice to look at though.

TAKE THAT **** bots

Ditto. But if you plan on running linux as your main OS, definitely don't run it from the disk. It'll be slow as ****.
