Apple has been doing some great work, I might be buying a new laptop for myself next christmas. Consider this however, with apple you will not get the option of using practicaly any commercial linux binarys, such as games like Tribes 2 my personal fav. And no wine/crossover/transgaming, and most emulators wont work eather. So make shure you are not attached to a intel specific application before you switch to an ibook. I was looking at some of Toshiba's laptops, however as with many companys they are forced into selling windows with the laptop! and that royaly pisses me off, I have never payed for a Microsoft OS and I dont intend to. However that goes for any product that your just plain not going to use, why fork out 100-200 $ for something your just going to format off the system? On Fri, 2002-08-16 at 22:36, Michael J.
