Well Nic, if I remember Lenovo is a subsidiary of IBM, so it would have been a
pretty darned good unit. Still, I'm guessing you'd be happier with a
beautiful new mac or mbp anyway.
Take care
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn
Yes, let's Appleize around him. He'll eventually succumb. *grins*
As for that Lenovo laptop, I will say that it was actually the best Windows
XP Professional machine ever. And I want to repair it, just in case. I loved
it. I feel, however, that there is no hope for it.
Yeah, a Macbook Pro with 8GB of memory isn't bad at all. I personally
wouldn't know what to use it for, though I usually tend to go for the extremes
anyway.
Regards,
Nic

Seriously, I love the bandwagon here. We bought a (excuse the expression)
HP laptop at bestbuy, and out of the box it sounded like a jet, and worked like
a snail. Doug hated it so much he gave it away.
But he's invested with Freedom Science Fiction, so will not jump on the
Apple-happy bandwagon. We'll just Applize around him.

Hi,
Holy shit, dude.
I don't even own that much in total. *grins*
Well, I have a few laptops lying around, though at least one of those
need to get a new fan. Every time I start it up, it sounds like a damn jet
plane lifting off. Then, it'll put itself into standby a few moments later
because it's too hot. Oh, did I mention that, though I know my password, it
won't accept it? See, I turned off the fingerprint security chip because I had
to real quick, and then it refuses my password though my fingerprint said it
was the right one before deactivating it. Buggy much?
My laptops are all XPs. Then I have a desktop which, despite all my
abilities, is just sitting there. Last state it was in consisted of two
half-assed installations of something or other. And I don't even know why.
One day, I will appleize my house. I'll put a sticker for a Macbook, an
iPhone, an iPod, an Apple TV, and anything else that is Apple on my front door.
Super-sized, of course.
Regards,
Nic

I didn't pay for too much of this stuff myself. When I did contracting,
many of my clients would send me hardware on which they wanted things tested in
some particularly interesting combinations.
We also have an XP based HP NetBook, an Acer laptop (chosen because it
was the cheapest portable at BestBuy) and a kicking fast HP desktop both
running the vinux 3.0 beta GNU/Linux distro, a Vista desktop, an XP desktop and
a ton of external hard disks, USB thumb drives, a Victor Stream, a PAC Mate 40,
two dogs (one guide one pet), about 30 fishing rods rigged for all sorts of
habitats, a really nice Kurzweil SP88 Pro electronic piano and a partridge in
our grapefruit trees.
Come to think of it, we own way too much shit.
If any of you are interested in accessible GNU/Linux distros like
vinux, please write to me off-list and I'd be happy to field your questions to
the best of my ability.
Happy Hacking,

Jeez, we have nine different Apple products in our house and
collectively they don't add up to $17,000. I'd be afraid of such a beast as
nothing I do with a computer could possibly warrant that much power. So, if I
had that sort of money, I suppose I would keep my current stuff and put a big
down payment on the Lexus cross-over which fits our lifestyle of fishing,
camping, hunting, traveling long distances with two dogs and is a bit bigger
and a lot more comfortable than our seven year old toyota Matrix.

Hi,
That's right. I dare any one of you to go to an Apple Store
online, build your own Mac from the ground up and post the results. The Mac of
your dreams. The Mac you've always wanted, but know that you need to be a
billionaire to afford. That Mac that would make you almost drool with
excitement, but you want to scream from a mountaintop because you can't have it.
Come on. We've all done it. YOu know you want to do it. I do,
too. At least, you can live out your dream for a little while, until it is time
to click the "Checkout" item. Don't tell me that you aren't curious enough to
at least go configure your own mac to your heart's content. What is your goal?
A Mac to the price of $17000? Even more than that? Go on. Isn't it just
tempting to feel like a billionaire for once? Of course, your dreams will be
crushed, but you know, that happens. And if either one of you people decide to
buy it, you're lucky. And if you do, let me know!
Warm regards,
Nic
P.S. THis idea just popped into my head. :)
