A macboook attacked me in frys a couple of years ago, and I bought it to see if I could get along with the modern interface. Despite progress, battery life is a disaster under either FreeBSD or Linux. Worked nicely, up until the staple sucked in by the magnetic cord connector. And unlike the old powerbooks, its nontrivial to replace the fuse (but the behavior is the same; it works fine until the battery runs down, but can't recharge) Then an iPad for court, and another few months on a Toshiba before the 27" iMac. Then an iPhone that ambushed me while I was in for an iMac repair (My wife had just stolen my android, and wouldn't give it back!). Then (forgot about this one) a mac mini for my assistant's desk; swamped it out from the old PC from her former employer while she was out for lunch :) Took her a bit to figure out what was going on . . . . :) Then iPhones for a daughter and my wife. And the twins started high school, and having a laptop is presumed in a couple of their classes (math, in particular). An iPad 3 for my eyeballs (and wife took the 2). It had a minor gravitational incident, but the damage to the glass is mostly around the edge, the screen is fine. And now that Chase and its attorneys paid for it with a nice sanctions check, my brand new retina macbook that arrived today (named chase out of gratitude). So I should be fine until next month when the new iPhone comes out . . . But as for getting it right . . . I'm one of the few attornies not "practicing." Once I got it right, I closed down almost 20 years ago, and got te Ph.D. Now I do bankruptcy work to pay the tuition bills . . . -- The Hawkins Law Firm Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
