Re:How about... (Score 2, Insightful)

Sounds like my situation - wife has a Sony Vaio but got really tired of it locking up and having to reboot constantly (can't wholly blame Sony I spose...it IS running XP). At any rate, got her the 17" MacBook Pro for our 19th anniversary, and it is truly fabulous. I've been an Oracle DBA for about 20 years, and aside from server OS's, all I've ever used is DOS and/or Windows. After about 5 minutes with her Mac, I'm practically an Apple fanboy already. Superior product, superior design, superior feature set, and having that UNIX-foundation doesn't hurt stability. You can just tell Apple really cares about their product, and not just how much it will affect the bottom line / snuff out any would-be competitors. Anyway...here's the soapbox back...thanks for letting me borrow it.
