The new Macs just came out.

Fine. I've been waiting for the latest tweak.

So I walk in the Apple Store, tell them what I want... and while I'm waiting... I feel like shooting the bull. So I ask, "Hey, so my blackberry can tether to a Mac, right?".

I honestly thought that it was just a time filler question... but as it turns out, the answer is no!

What????

This is totally unexpected. I had to walk away empty handed because of this. I have *got* to have the ability to tether. (no, I don't want a kooky bluetooth method.)

So does my blackberry force me to stay with Windows????

I see a $70 bit of software that *might* work, but it doesn't seem like the most graceful solution....and it's not ready yet.

Heck, walk into a Verizon store with your Windows machine and they will happily sling you free tethering software like they can't wait to get rid of it and it works great.

I have read all kinds of gripes in forums like these, but why is this news to me? Isn't this a huge issue?????
