The new slim Mac laptops, from pictures look kinda neat. A really thin
profile. I've never seen one in person.
Why buy a Mac when everything you use works in Windows, I guess because you
can. An analogy for you, you have many different guitars. Please don't
take that as a slam, it sure isn't intended that way. Have top be kinda
careful around here these days. 0-)
As for myself I buy things I don't need, just because I can and I think they
are neat. I have no desire for a Mac, but that's just me. |

Ok. I understand. The guitar analogy got me. They all do the same thing
...... but differently.
It's funny how people vary in interests. To me, a computer offers
absolutely no thrill at all. But a program running on it that supports
another interest grabs my attention.
Believe me, I am not foreign to the concept of buying things I don't need.
My wife reminds me of this almost daily.

Nope. She knows better. It's funny though. The horse she brought "home"
last week (Sebastian) has a reputation of being a grouchy old fart who
likes to be left alone and not bothered. He and I get along just fine. We
snarl at each other.

There's a lot less software available for Mac. In my profession, there
just isn't software available to even think about going to Mac. >> Stay informed about: No biggie, but... |

"Everyone" isn't having "problems" running VISTA, but I can understand
how some might have problems running VISTA or XP or 98 or Tiger or
