I can't wait. As for "she bought a crappy laptop", that conveniently ignores the whole point of the ad, which is "choice." There are plenty of other 17" PC laptops for under $1,000. Buy.com alone lists 20 of them. This compares to zero Apple products in that category. (Incidentally, if I were doing the sort of nitpicking that the glitterati are doing, I'd probably mention that in 45 of the 50 states she couldn't walk out of the Apple store with even a 13" Mac for her $1000, much less a 17" one. Here is MD it would be close to $1,060 with tax. But that would indeed be nitpicking, wouldn't it?) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
