Chainsaw advice

Hey,

I am looking for a new chainsaw, as I'd like to start harvesting more
wood to feed the habit. I'd love to hear any advice you folks might
have. I know I want a gas powered saw, and I suppose it's better to
buy a longer bar rather than a shorter one -- my old 16 inch was a
little lacking sometimes.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not a chainsaw expert, so I listened to some, and bought a Stihl. 18"
or so bar length. Spent maybe $300, IIRC. The model number escapes me
right now.

Nothing at the home centers looked like I wouldn't wear it out in a
weekend. The garden equipment center sells pro, and 'pro-sumer' level
gear, and has always done well by me, and hundreds of other folks.

Friends who run big saws like Stihl, among others, but this one was right
for me.
