I read the flight sim thread down below...I really got hooked on flight sim X a friend showed it to me...I have an old ibook and absolutely love the mac since my last windows was infected with viruses well you know the story. I think getting a sim would be a great investment especially to train on the instrument rating that I will seek in the future. So should I get a new mac and buy the latest version of x-plane or get a windows PC so that I could possibly use both flight sim X and X-plane? I think getting the windows might save me some $ since the new mac costs around $1100 or so. But I am pretty sure that I'd like to get hooked on a flight sim and the ibook although is very nice just doesn't have the power I need... any recs on a decent windows PC? I have been so out of the windows world for a long time!!
