It would be a different story if you had a mac. >
Virtual Pc.
If you're looking for a machine purely for writing, the old coloured iMacs are sufficient.
I bought my Quicksilver G4 five years ago, and have never had to reinstall the operating system, or any of my hardware/software.
Tip 1: OS X has a built in function to run so called cron scripts that fix your file system and hard disk in general. It's scheduled to run automatically during the night if the computer is idle. Some essential operations run every night, others only once every week or every month. So if you want your Mac to be healthy the most important thing you can do is to leave it running overnight, especially if you have worked on it all day and moved around big files. Also, it automatically does defragmenting for you.
Tip 2: You can also put your mac to
sleep from a different location by sending yourself an e-mail.
