Hi,

I got a Mac Book Air for Christmas but I'm just starting to work with it.

Oooh .. jealous :-)

        You mean ***envious***! :-)

        cheers,

P. S.  My wife once asked me to explain to her the difference between
``jealous'' and ``envious''.  I said:

        Suppose that you and [for present purposes] Steve were walking
        down the street one day, engaged in conversation, and you happened
        to look up and see, on the corner, myself and (let us say) Angelina
        Jolie engaged in a hot, passionate embrace.  You, my love, would be
        jealous.  Steve would be envious.
