The keyboard is a good point. I am really impressed by the keyboard on
my iBook. I have used laptops made by Fujitsu, Toshiba, HP and a few no
name brands, and I have always disliked the keyboards. I bought a wireless
keyboard for my iBook believing this would be the same, but I find myself
just using the keyboard on the iBook more than the wireless one.
Good luck, Scott.

Yes you might be right. I put in the seeds of the idea with the Chief of
User Services and one more note to my girl Michele who got me the Mac to
begin with will probably do the trick. Yeah the HP is light and small, bu I
guess to get that size and weight, the quality of enclosure had to suffer. I
am not saying all HPs are junk, but seeing how the Mac notebooks are built,
yeah a little heavier, but you could probably kill someone if you were to
hit them on the head with the thing...grin Seriously, well build and worth
the extra weight. Wouldn't mind having it a little smaller so I could put it
in my notebook sleeve that I have in my backpack so might ask if they can
get me one a little smaller. Even the smaller notebooks have incredibly nice
keyboards.
