Need Gadgets For Windows Vista

haha I can back it up. Mac's work better, break down less, and their os's don't cost half a pc to buy. Considering the fact that microsoft has gone on record saying that they're going to be updating their windows more frequently (say once every 5 or 6 years), it's going to get more costly. Don't forget that only a small percentage of people can handle the ultimate version sandy recommended before. Upgrade your ram, graphics card, cpu if ur too far back, and you're looking at a pretty steep price in addition to the 500 odd dollars you're paying for vista. And believe me when I say that you aren't going to throw out your mac that quickly. Unless you're gonna swap out your graphics card every other month to get bleeding edge graphics that are utterly useless, the best choice for the mainstream is a mac :umm: . And don't forget that it's the pc of choice for many a gursikh (you can ask sandy about that one :cool: )

While half the stuff you said above MIGHT be right, it doesn't make a mac cheaper than a PC, which is what you said :)

I agree w/ you, Ultimate is a wee bit pricey compared to OSX. But considering that you can get a wicked top of the line PC for under $1500 CDN, and a cheap one for as low as $400, all brand new, all using Vista Premium or ultimate. Also, check with your local university, the education discounts are phenominal. I just saw @ my uni Vista Ultimate for $113. That's cheaper than OSX btw!

That's fine and all, but don't come crying back here when vista crashes (it will) or when you start spending more money to upgrade to get a direct x 10 card (you'll want one) or when you have to buy a new pc (you'll need it, and you'll want a mac :umm: )

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
