More about me from you...

I've had quite a week of input from you and I appreciate it.
The big comment generator was the Mac quest.
Wow. You Mac people are like a cult.

I bought one on eBay (used) last year, which came preloaded with tons of software. At first I thought I would only use it for e-mail and surfing, now I have pretty well abandoned my Windows PC. Brought it home, opened the case, it immediately found my home network and I was hooked. No need for pesky virus softwar/updates and an easy migration from Windows. Go for it!

My family owns six of them. I just bought a MacBook White on Saturday - the mid model, faster processor, larger HD. The simplicity of the Mac is the big selling feature for me. Want to hook up to a wireless network. Done. No settings, no fooling around. Printer. Easy peasy.
With the exception of the myriad of games available to the other guys, there is very little that you can't do on the Mac. Oh and migration of stuff from your PC is breeze
As for prices, the differential is now $150. I paid $1449, for the same product that cost $1299 in the US.

Thanks nice people. I appreciate it the advice. Only thing that's stopping me is the Gang-mocking I'll get from RR and the peeps at ACME pictures.(New job..see entry below.)

My favorite comment came from D in Hamilton who read my entry about Charlie's last Halloween.
D's a parent like me and said:

You have to stop making me cry at work. You've been on a roll lately. I had an almost identical experience last night with my kids. However Sequoia reaffirmed what I've always known (that she's a great kid). I told her that I remember carrying her around in a little bat costume and as she walked away to go with her friends she said; "And I will always try and carry a small piece of that bat with me". Parenting is the greatest adventure. Keep up the great stuff Howard, I'll just move the Kleenex box closer to my computer.
