fyi
i feel like a traitor somehow, but i thought i should let you all know...sometime this summer, i do believe i'm going to buy myself a mac.
a few factors have played into this decision by me, a lifelong PC user. 1. tommy thinks i should get one because i like pretty things and don't use a computer for much more beyond internet, email, photoshop and word processing (he says his reasoning is less simplistic than that but it's true, i do like pretty things). 2. i'll actually be making more money at cnn this summer than i've made at a job before, thereby allowing myself to actually purchase my own tech goodie instead of getting it as a gift from tommy. i might even get a new ipod. and/or a sidekick. 3. pretty much every single one of my friends has a mac and i am nothing if not a conformist. even my relatives are working on me. at dinner with the family last night my cousin brought out her laptop and let me play around with it while she talked about all its awesomeness.
so, yeah. sorry PC diehards. the transition won't be for a while, and i'll certainly keep the dell around, but it appears it's time for a change. scary!

welcome to the dark side.
Sorry I missed the party...I've a hell of a cold. But definitly embrace the new macbook. I love it.
The new macbooks have the added advantage over PC noteboos that you can fry eggs on them.
heh.
Catherine...I just switched a few weeks back (bought a 17'' macbook pro)well worth the hassle of moving files and other stuff to the MAC.
nice one! i've got at least a year of applecare left on my pbook, but, after seeing the macbooks IRL a week ago, i'm dying for one. (and that issue people were having with the heating was b/c there was a plastic strip blocking the fan vent -- easily sorted.)
oh, but, yeah, as far as applecare goes: it's worth the investment. i had a harddrive problem at one point, and i shipped it off and it was replaced w/in the same week. for nothing. (well, nothing more than i'd paid for the extended warranty.)
I definitely regret not having gotten a mac before school started. Who knew I would actually like to edit..?? good luck with your new computer!!!

It may take some getting used to the concept of a computer actually working each time you turn it on, and rarely if ever unexpectedly quitting programs, but you'll adjust eventually. :D
