Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Like the man would say, if you still have a floppy after looking at that, you may need some of the fine pills that our resident spambots promote from time to time.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

in all fairness, you have to see one up close.

on an aesthetic note they are very beautiful. they're a proper piece of design & engineering.

and on a technical note, they have a lot of features designed in that pc laptops can only dream of. simple stuff that until you see it in a macbook as standard you dont realise that its missing from most pc laptops. for eg: a web cam (not bad quality either!) and mic :D

Oh yes, the new McToy is nice and I'm sure Z will enjoy it big time...

...even my father bought a Mac a few weeks ago and he's very happy with it. The old pc made him mad, because it was a hellish machine! Now he's a whizzkid with his new McToy...

... and someday even I 'll buy one of those myself, BUT it just cannot touch the übercool C64 or the Amiga. Dreams dreams dreams...

Only thing is, mine appears to be the goth version, not the metalish one:

Even I think the MacBook is a very good laptop and feelings on Macs are well documented.

The guy at the Mac Store said benchmark tests show Macs run Windows quicker than any other laptop :eek: That's pretty insane, I'd say :lol:

It's more a case of Mac catching up with PCs. The main reason I find it appealing is the Intel hardware and the way it's put together. That and Parallels software.

I generally don't re-install, except in the case new or failed hard drives.
