I suppose you'd rather have this garish eyesore on your desktop?

And just think, it costs 33% more for this system to be configured to even approach the same speed and capabilities of a Mac, comes with less useful software, and has an older, less technologically advanced operating system.

Now that IBM and UNIX are in the game on the Mac side, Wintel is hurting.

Who cares. The average person doesn't even need that capability.

I never thought I'd say it, but if and when the time comes for me to buy a new laptop (I just finished paying off the one I'm using now!), I've decided that it will be either an iBook or if I can afford it, a powerBook. Especially with Virtual PC, which will allow me to run any Windows based software that I happen to need...
