Joel,
After 28 years of business computing dating from my George Morrow CPM
machine, I purchased my first Mac, a MackBook Pro, 2.4GHz. After 6
months, I have very mixed feelings about it. I love the battery life
and simplicity of features and included programs. Although I am still
in a steep learning curve, there are many things that frustrate me
daily. NO right click button means you need to plug in a mouse so you
can use the many options accessible by a right click. I have my old
Sharp laptop PC on the other desk and find that I often scoot my
rolling chair to it to quickly accomplish something. Perhaps it is
just because it is familiar.
The MacBook seems rugged, has a fairly bright screen although my Sharp
has a sunlight readable, 400 NIT backlight. I am sure once I learn, or
just put up with, the intricateness of the Mac, it will be just fine.
Here's a really positive note: It has never crashed or locked
up...yet. What a feeling!

Wrenches,
Some Wrenches include their notebook computer among their most
valued tools. My 2001 IBM T23 notebook has served me well in the
office and on the road, but it is getting a little long in the
tooth. What notebook computer do you all recommend? As always, thank
you very much for your valuable advice.
Best regards,
Joel Davidson
