Today Zoe and I invested.
Today we purchased a MacBook.
Yes that's right my days of DOS and messing around with windows registry errors and other stupid microsoft malfunctions are over. I'm jumping ship and within ten working days the beauty below (left) will be mine, all mine ours, all ours.
Those thinking about making a similar investment here is my tip: hunt down someone with an NUS card! Zoe and I saved over £100 on the laptop itself and £150 on the 3 year warranty.
Incidentally, to those that are interested, I'm just on the trian to London sat next to a girl who is on her phone. In the course of a conversation which lasted just over three minutes she used the phrase "Okey-Cokey" eight times.
welcome to the world of mac, i hope it's a pleasurable experience! :)

Glad you've finally seen sense!! Make sure you disinfect your hands to get rid of all traces of PC before you handle your new Mac.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. you make me sick, i hope it all goes terribly wrong for you and the scrren cracks (like on the ipods). You sell out.
Ps, notice more people have commented on this post than any theologicl debate, the reason: God used an Intel system and runs Xp. PPs, computer mouses / mice SHOULD have 2 buttons!

I'm envious. So, so envious. You must've bought the basic model, did you? I've read the specs and I can't see anybody having any need to go for a more expensive one...

It seems the only reason to get a better model (besides the obvious processor and hard-drive) would be to get a) a bigger screen and b) a DVD writer, both of which we can live without!
