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.

Ergonomically, the Macbook Pros are a little slicker than the Macbooks.
The price difference won't matter to you. I got the 15" screen model
because I actually do lug the thing around to various meetings. If I
were just using it at an office, I would get the 17" screen model. It
takes a bit of getting used to to switch back and forth between Macs and
Windoze machines, and some of the really basic things you can do with a
Windoze machine are really a pain in the ass on a Mac, but all-in-all, I
now prefer the Macs to Windoze machines. What few Windozes apps I
absolutely have to have on my Mac I run through an emulator, and they
work just fine. Most notable among these: Wordperfect for Windows.

If you have any usage questions, give me a call.

At least Macs run a real OS now. No more of the MacOS bombs followed by
a On/Off reset.

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.

The only "app" an idiot like Loogy runs (other than what he uses for
usenet) is Where in the World is Carmen San Diego." The Loogyites ride
the short yellow bus.

They don't sell them to assholes like you, of course.

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.
