Help me buy a computer

Suppose elerrina_amanya and I were buying a laptop or whatever they're called these days.

Apparently it is possible to get student discount on a Mac. I was going to say I needed more info on Macs, but I suppose a new Windows machine would have Vista, of which I have heard little and none good. When Microsoft came up with an OS that mostly works, why can't they just stick with it?

I think there's no such thing as an uncrashable OS. I was introduced to RedHat with, 'We need to use the memory for zillions of calculations, not waste half of it on the OS, and BTW you can't crash it', and I'd managed to crash it within four days :)

I crash the browser all the time, not Windows itself so much. elerrina_amanya has it crash on her more, I think, that's why she'd like a different OS.

ha, yes. uncrashable OSs are like perpetual motion machines. Best of luck picking a computer that suits your needs :).
