I had to use the bathroom at a Starbucks the other day. I don't drink the coffee. It's too strong, besides, the Folgers I get at work made on the Bunn-o-matic is just fine. Mountain grown, or should I say mound and groan. Anyway, some hippy chick was using one of those toy Apple MACs right there at Starbucks. It looked like a Fisher-Price toy. Where's the little nub in the middle of the keyboard or the secondary mouse button? Why were the speakers situated facing upward instead of to the sides or downward onto a desk or table? What's with the sissy power connector? I'll simply mention that the screen looked awful shiny and not matte like I'm used to. You might say the screen was glossy. Couldn't that severely and permanently damage the user's eyes? Losers.

Glad to hear it, but shouldn't the award be for 2007? 2008 just started!

Actually, only Windows-based laptops can damage your eyes, and apparently also your brain...

Inflexible Power Management? How's that? Does anybody agree?

"I had to use the bathroom at a Starbucks the other day. I don't drink the coffee."

There is a hole lot more to that story that I NEVER, EVER want to know. Wide stance, ZT?

This comes as no surprise.

It's a fantastic machine. One that in a week shall be even better after you see the performance.

Apple owns 2008.

Again, Congratulations Team Apple!

"inflexible power management".

What does that mean?

OK... were you looking for Senator Craig?

You better believe I have a wide stance. All of us good Christian Republicans and Windows enthusiasts have a wide stance.

You got any toilet paper over there?

I can't spare a square.

Just FYI, some folks in our agency recently purchased some "high-end" HP notebooks. Paid almost $4,000 each as configured. A 17" MacBook Pro, even with 4 GB RAM, Apple Care, and highest res display, would have cost less. The HP was slower (2 GHz), heavier, and has a mediocre display. And, with Parallels or Fusion, we *still* could have run our Windows apps. But, sadly, we're "not allowed" to purchase Macs.

Always look forward to those reliable typography tweaks "MAC" (all caps) and I-POD. You're comedy gold.

@ Zune Tang
You've crossed a dangerous line now buddy, I am a good Christian Republican and have NEVER touched let alone owned a Windoze machine!

Leave me out of your pidgin hole.

Yes I mean pidgin!

"The glossy LED screen is a revelation."

Ha! Take that you glossy haters!

Inflexible power management??? I like Apple's three choices for power management. If anyone can explain to me what each of the 8 or so options under power management in Winblows does, I will change my tune.

There is such a thing as too much choice. It can lead to consumer confusion. True concept.

Absolutely, True. Look at the M-5 power management selection system. It takes 5 minutes to get to 60 mph!!! Way too much choice and a tough route to get there. I expect the car's management software is all Vista based!!!!
