Yes, if you own the current new model. So as you can see the window of opportunity is quite small. Look at my sig, I haven't had sex since 2003.

Obviously, with your dual G5 you've been doing better than me.

Oh yeah, plenty of that for sure. Venice is the jewel and the armpit of southern cali. I love it here.
We also have tons of natural beauties among other things. Quite the zoo really.

Auckland NZ, sounds like it's nice and quiet there. It's a little noisy here.

About to go out and get a drink or two. Cheers

for years this discussion has been a battle of tech specs..
with the introduction of mac Intel based processors this battle has finally come to an end..

the only substantial claim the Windows platform had was speed; bye bye..
the next battle will be about intellectual specs..
and guess who's way behind already?

and to answer the original question about being trendy..
ofcourse Apple is trendy.. so are all other computer related issues that surround us these days.. Apple and non Apple..

but what might be a more interesting question is who is the trendsetter,
and who are the lemming-like-followers?
Vista makes me laugh bigtime already..

however;
at the end of the day that box under your desk is just a tool,
no matter which logo it carries..
