I cannot drink diet coke but I really like Diet Pepsi. BIG difference between the two to me.

I don't care too much from a usability perspective which I use....but Macs are cooler, no doubt about that.

Enjoy, and keep us posted as you figure it out!

No Mac is as cool as my Cheeseburger 9000, but they do have their charms.

I prefer iced tea

Tomorrow. 10:30. Here is my charge card.

Then I try and be patient as shipping ensues.

Newegg.com is the best for computer shopping stuff...

They own a big chunk of my soul

Good! I will be buying more ram after the fact.

I'd recommend buying from a 3rd party reseller like amazon or something. Apple will charge 10% if you return it. no mater what. on the other hand, you can buy thru the online apple store at student price with no problem. they never ever check your student credentials. I've bought a G5 and Mac Mini and returned both. Mac's sure are pretty but felt I was using a computer with one hand tied behind my back. I hope you have a successful switch. And make sure what ever programs you use, that its available in Universal Binary. Otherwise it will be very slow. And dont forget, windows XP runs great on them now. so if you ever miss something thats not there, your in luck.

Every time I look at their site I drop a nice chunk of change with them.

I'm currently waiting on my 1 gig sd memory card for my new camera and I'm getting a camera case as part of a bundle package. I closed out before I could spend any more.
