I am sure everyone here knows that a well configured version of Windows XP + Cygwin + VMWare trumps all. And yes, Apple, thank you very much for i386.

Geeks, on the other hand, who love to burn up incredible amounts of time getting stuff to work, use Linux. But cool people use Macs. Users “without a clue” use Windoze.

If you don't need the ExpressCard slot or the backlit keyboard and can do with a slightly smaller screen, get a MacBook. Of course, then you couldn't use Lab Tick... ;-) Cheers, Alex Clintus,
