and get a laptop. I'm halfway through my third year now and yearning for a laptop (YEARNING!). I like playing games, which is why I went for the desktop when I started. Nowadays laptops are so fast and so much cheaper that they can easily replace a desktop. The portability is a HUGE asset. It makes group work easier and it's much easier to move a laptop from residence to residence. I'm in a co-op program and so far I've moved 6 times, so the laptop would have been a huge perk.
I also do Government research and you'd be hard-pressed to find windows running on any of the machines we work on (except in the PR / HR departments). I do most of my number crunching on an Origin 3000 running IRIX, but I could just as easily move it to Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and SunOS.
