recommend a good computer and digital camera?


What do people here use for computers and digital cameras? I need to upgrade for surfing the audio sites and put up photos for my audio gear, of course.
I heard Gateway has quality problems and Dell nickel and dimes you on options. So I was looking at Hewlett-Packard. Is Compaq any good? Any other good brands?
I've been using the throwaway Kodaks on vacations and as much as I hate to get on the camera upgrade bandwagon, blurry photos with NO depth of field is getting too annoying.
For cameras, I've always liked Nikon. J&R sells the 4 mega pixel Coolpix 4300 for $399.99. It takes 8 good pic's or 293 low res pic's. 3x optical zoom sounds useful. Any thoughts on better brands?
Thanks.
And please, only nice people need respond. (sorry, I couldn't resist).

Check out Velocity Micro for your computer (www.velocitymicro.com). Their stuff is very nice, cutting edge, and high quality. I have one of their notebooks and it's best made notebook I've ever seen.

I've also heard/read that Voodoo computers are topnotch.

As for the camera, I'd suggest you checkout the Pentax Optio 555. 5 meg digital with good quality.

Good luck
