They are very, very proud of the Pro ($$$$$$$$)

I can't imagine spending that much for a laptop... I usually limit my laptop purchases to 1K but figured I would splurge this year...

Jr is pumped as he gets my Sony....

I was unsure about the 13.3 screen but I love my macbook. The screen size hasn't bothered me a bit. Good luck and enjoy!!

Dare I say I even like it better than Linux..... Of course Mac is based on Unix....

My ONLY issue is paying for software.... iWork 08 is only 80 bucks and that's not bad when compared to MS Office, but, Open Office is FREE....
