Well, I trashed the keyboard on my Apple laptop. Don't ask.
Anyway, I took the poor baby up to the Apple store and voila! While I
waited, they replaced the keyboard with a new one, no charge.

There was no phone cue at the store, everyone there spoke English, and
some really good-looking geekbabes came in to buy ipods and ipod phones
while I was there.
Now, if only I could sell my year-old hotrod desktop windows
machine...!
I've got to admit - I'm seriously thinking about Apple and getting a
MAC.

Not sure what kind yet though. I'm kinda leaning towards a laptop.


9/10 of the app I use on a PC aren't available for mac, or just don't
do the job on a mac.

Have you tried a Windows emulator?

What is Apples appeal?


I don't know. I have only one real exposure to it and that was helping a
neighbor install a printer. Maybe when you get used to it it's OK. I can
find no compelling reason to switch from Windows to Mac.
