[QUOTE="[DT], post: 1182263, member: 183332"] No problem. Another thing I don't recall seeing in any of the posts, is with a Mac, you still have the option to run Windows! You can use Bootcamp (provided right OOTB) to boot the machine into a standalone Windows machine (basically a dual boot between OSX or Windows). Alternately you can use one of a number of VM solutions to run Windows with/under OSX! This is was I'm doing, using a Product called Parallels (~$65 from Amazon). I have a virtual Windows machine that can run full screen, or in a Window _or_ in a mode called Coherence where each Windows app runs in a native OSX window. Plus you share resources like drives, the desktop, network connection, etc. I've got Office '10 (Win) running perfectly on our MBP, but use OSX native apps for Web/Email/etc. It's that very option that will probably cause me to make the switch too (the MBP is the woman's new machine) when my HP runs out of steam :D [/QUOTE]
