Wayne, since you're computer savvy I was wondering if you might recommend a computer for $800 or so (or less) that runs on XP for my son. We are wanting to get him one (he's chipping in all his BDay and Xmas money ) that he can do some graphics on. He's been messing around with Gamemaker and likes to write his own scripts, applets, and some code to make his own games. I was thinking if I can get something with 3Gb Ram, a decent graphics card, and a goodly sized HD like 500Gb it would get him started. We can even go without a nice monitor at this point to get him more puter as we have an old one to get him by for a couple months--then we could get him a nice 22" widescreen.
