    Damn Safari is so swift at rendering websites, it beats the shit out of IE even.

                  I got it in the store in Columbus. It seemed like there weren't may though, the lady picked the last one from the stock room.

                  What an incredible machine. I still have a hard time believing how cool it is. The $2800 were well spent.

                        I got a plugin for my mac but can't remember where I got it. If you do a search on Yahoo for windows media plugin for quicktime there is one result that pops up called Flip4Mac and I think that's what I got. I can play .wma and .wmv file right in Safari. Hope that helps...

                          I love everything about my Mac and yes Safari kicks some serious ass. I like how when you hook something up to a Mac it just works. No searching and installing drivers like on a PC. Like they say, once you go Mac, you never go back. Okay, no one really says that but what the hell, maybe they will now.

                            You can use any USB mouse. If that's your only worry, it's a silly one.

                            Spend you some brain.

                                I had one, used it. Found it nice enough. Unix framework made it ok for java programming etc, but .. dunno.

                                I think (even more now w/ intel under the hood) using macs nowaays is a preference only: In the pat you were definitely one or the other, now you just choose which OS / hardware you prefer.

                                Until I can boot XP natively without OS/X on the system at all, I'll stick to windows machines

                                      Thats called BootCamp and it works like a charm:

                                      Though the best alternative is to run XP (natively) in a MacOSX window just when you need it through virtualization:

                                                about $2,700 with the student discount and tax.
