Well, I trashed the keyboard on my Apple laptop. Don't ask.

Anyway, I took the poor baby up to the Apple store and voila! While I
waited, they replaced the keyboard with a new one, no charge.

:)

There was no phone cue at the store, everyone there spoke English, and
some really good-looking geekbabes came in to buy ipods and ipod phones
while I was there.

Now, if only I could sell my year-old hotrod desktop windows machine...!

I've got to admit - I'm seriously thinking about Apple and getting a
MAC.

Not sure what kind yet though. I'm kinda leaning towards a laptop.

Ergonomically, the Macbook Pros are a little slicker than the Macbooks.
The price difference won't matter to you. I got the 15" screen model
because I actually do lug the thing around to various meetings. If I
were just using it at an office, I would get the 17" screen model. It
takes a bit of getting used to to switch back and forth between Macs and
Windoze machines, and some of the really basic things you can do with a
Windoze machine are really a pain in the ass on a Mac, but all-in-all, I
now prefer the Macs to Windoze machines. What few Windozes apps I
absolutely have to have on my Mac I run through an emulator, and they
work just fine. Most notable among these: Wordperfect for Windows.

If you have any usage questions, give me a call.

My oldest son came home to visit for Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago.
He was supporting a new Apple laptop. A year ago he bought a new laptop
with Vista installed....that turned him over to Apple.
Seems wasteful, I come from the school where you wear things out before
replacing them.
Kids...what are ya gonna do?

BTW they have an Apple store in Vancouver...not sure here in Halifax.
There's a place called 'The Halifax Mac Store'.
I'll have to check it out. http://www.halifaxmacstore.ca/

That'll teach you to stop squeezing pustules onto the keyboard. Try
wrapping your keyboard with saran wrap.

At least Macs run a real OS now. No more of the MacOS bombs followed by
a On/Off reset.

9/10 of the app I use on a PC aren't available for mac, or just don't
do the job on a mac.
