They are sweet little laptops. I was so disgusted with my Dell 17" that I just sold it and used the money to defray my Mac Pro and 24" display. And, yet, having sold a Dell laptop because I just didn't like using it, I find myself so-o-o-o-o tempted to buy a Mac lappie now.

Apple has a remarkably insidious product line, dangerous to the wallet. It's hard to remain a jaded user that's owned computers since the old Apple II days, then done Amiga, then done Windows PC for ten years and now, finally, go to Mac with OS X (OS 9 was repellent). And yet Apple keeps me wanting more. That's some great marketing and product design.

I’ve never done Amiga, and am using 9.2.2 right now and have no trouble, but otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree. I won’t be getting a new computer for at least a couple more years (I popped in a ghz Sonnet accelerator into the old PM 7600, and will migrate over there, then probably pull this one apart for a while), and will likely time that to match up with the end of the analog TV signal.

I’m looking at getting a Mac Book for the kids laptop. Anyone here have kids using them. My main concern is the ability to run windows software.

I’m a windows developer myself, haven’t had any Mac experience since the Apple II days.
