I loaned my MacBook to my dad so he could do some video editing on the trip he went on so I won't have it back until Monday. I'm back to using a Dell and I'm already getting annoyed with Windows again.

That sucks to go w/o your Mac for so long.

eric - I feel your pain. I do a good bit of my job on a PC, the rest with pen & paper. The sad part is my office computer is a P4 w/hyperthreading, but the CPU is wasted on only 512MB RAM, so I struggle to run Word + IE 6 at the same time under Windows 2000. :(

It'll probably be a long 5 days! It would be for me. :(

That's painful. Why not talk your dad into getting a Mac for himself?

I went without my PB 12" for about 8 days when it went in for repair. Look at the upside: you're going to appreciate it so much more when it comes back! Trust me.
