What brand of desktop/laptop should I buy?

I get this question quite a bit. You're going to begin seeing a pattern in my standard answer: "Whichever brand you are more comfortable with." You can order from a major manufacturer, buy from a chain store, build your own, or buy from a boutique - local or online. If all else fails, get a Dell.

Before connecting your new Dell desktop (or whatever brand you prefer) to the internet, or any other network for that matter, you must make sure that you are running some type of personal firewall. I know many of you may be thinking "Duh!", but believe me there are many people out there who don't find the previous statement as obvious.
