I am also considering getting a black Macbook. However, I feel I don't need one until 2 years. So I will wait! For now I'll be stuck with my PC which has been making me angry *old Cpu*, since I run a lot of applications.

It's so delicate, sensitive and very very hard to use. (My opinion anyway)

The only thing that sucks about the Mighty Mouse is the nipple, it gets dirt in there and hard to get out.

yes, this is VERY annoying, you have to keep turning the mouse upside down and rubbing it on paper to remove the dirt.

I have gotten to the point were it's unfixable, so I just use my trackpad.

Also Gareth, you might want to watch a few videos on Apple.com or read this: http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20080702...-from-windows/

The mighty mouse is indeed one of the worst things Apple has made.

I would agree that Mac's are fine for simpletons, but if you would like any real usability out of a computer, they're not for you. There is almost nothing a PC cannot do faster or better, for less money. To argue otherwise would just be patently incorrect.
I've never been so pleased about reading a post, finally reading something written by someone with a brain who understands what's going on! Not to cause offense to anyone else but "Mac's are fine for simpletons" sums it up better than I could ever put it.

The reason mac users find PC's slow is because in a lot (NOT ALL) cases they are half wits and don't know the 1st thing about how to manage using a computer (properly), resulting in them simply messing it up without even trying... something which is impossible to do on a mac. If you don't have a clue about using computers then macs are a good choice; if you want full usability and couldn't give two ****s about being in with the mac crowd, then a PC is the only choice.

Does anyone here use Photoshop on a mac? Is there any difference?
For $2600 You could build an EPIC pc that will easily out perform that crappy mac.

srsly, they are a total rip off, they only sell because idiots like the way they look... (MACS R COOL!) not.

I can bet you've not even used one for 2 hours.
