Somebody stop me!!! x_x

I'm drooling over Powerbooks and iBooks at the online Apple Store. I used to have a 486 laptop, and that was neat. I kinda miss the whole portability factor... and the new iBooks look sw33t. I got to poke around a bit with one when my boss had it in here the other day, it was hella nice.

And now I just keep thinking that if I were to cancel my cell phone service when the contract runs out, and funnel that money into an iBook payment plan instead... oooo. Hot stuff bay-bee.

Me and my crazy ideas. Jeebus.

I am not platform ignorant at all... I not only grew up on Macs, I had one for two years ... and it was a slow, crashy piece of crap. I was also tired of the unavialbility of software and the incompatibility of hardware. I know the MacOS very, very well ... more than I want to. I switched to a Dell PC a year ago, and I have never been happier. I have had no problems with it at all, except for having to reinstall my OS once. Which is more than I can say for the Mac that I had.

The Sony Vaio is much more powerful than any Mac laptop you could possibly get. Chris from the second floor of Douglass had one, and it was a wonderful, happy little angel of a machine and no, it did not run hot at all ... and it was only 6 lbs.; I don't know which computer you were looking at, James, maybe it was the all-in-one, or something. And the weight of a computer is not really a selling point for me. You want to see something that runs hot? Go look at those damn Borg cube Mac things. I practically burned my hand when I touched it.

And I never claimed that PCs were less expensive than the iBook ... however, I'd challenge that a Sony Vaio all-in-one is a much better computer than an iBook could hope to be right now.

If (Sarah) you're getting one to become more platform-savvy, I applaud that wholeheartedly ... make yo'self more diverse!

Sorry you've had bad experience with macs, but when was the last time you tried one? They have become much more stable and compatible over the last few years.

I like my pc, i like my mac, and I like unix terminals. They're all good at different things.
