I've thought about the iBook or Titanium G4 laptop but continue to be anti-Mac-Software and pro-Apple instead. If their portable devices came with a right-click button I'd probably bite. > After playing with it for a few hours, I doubt I'll ever again suggest > Windows to someone I don't dislike.

I feel "constrained" on MacOS. Something about having that menubar always there annoys me, and not having a lower-left startbutton (I know, the top left has an apple icon)... and media being mounted permanently to the desktop, and icons flowing top right and over to the left and down by default and zapping P-RAM. Bleh. If cost sways me that way, we shall see. I built the PC I'm using and there is something glowing about the joy of having accomplished that :) Thanks for the advice though, honestly ;-P -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
