[QUOTE="Phacade, post: 1183569, member: 191945"] Ironically (or perhaps not), as I'm talking of replacing my tired old dinosaur, my wife has simply had it with her little Dell lappie and is talking of getting a MacBook Air...wow! In one stroke we might both go Mac. Now if I can only find a way to keep the kids off my new Mac. :P On a side note, it did occur to me I could get an iMac, use it for a year or two, and then go Mac Pro for myself; giving the iMac for my kids. They're 5 & 7 now, so computer use for them is pretty much limited to whatever they can find on Nickelodeon's site, but in a few years, they'll need a [U]little[/U] more than the tired old WinXP box can provide. My other thought right now is the baseline [B]Mac Pro[/B], the Nehalem processor, still comes with only 1066-speed memory while both the dual Westmore processor and [B]i7 iMac[/B] comes with 1333; so waiting a year or two for the baseline Mac Pro to "catch up" [U]may[/U] be smart money. I think I just talked myself into an iMac. :P [/QUOTE]
