I haven't been an Apple guy since 1982 when the Commodore 64 came out.

I have one of those. Enjoy!  My work ride is a 15" MacBook Pro as I slowly leave a dual G5 tower behind (it'll be the family machine shortly but I have to convert to Eclipse/Java1.5/Axis1.4 on the laptop first.) Posting this from a way old iMac which is about to be scrubbed clean. I do see Ubuntu in my future though.  |

I do see Ubuntu in my future though. One of the main reasons I went with a macbook is because of the ability to triple-boot to OS X, Linux, and Windows. |

Translation for stroh Aske says... My box is *fudge*ed but I'm getting it fixed. Putting Ubuntu on it when it gets back. Dude, I'm getting a Dell and it's awesome fast with wicked graphics and *feces*! |
