I agree that PB sucks but only because they tend to be much slower
than other computers. I had a Legend 60 (pentium) as my primary
computer for a while and it was a dog. They are not completely
proprietary. Yes if you want to add a new MB you are stuck but you can
add (and I did) video card, sound card etc...    I still wouldnt buy
another, but lets get the reasons why they suck straight.
