Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] Switching to Apple

Actually,  OS X on an Intel mac is the best of THREE worlds now.  I  
use OS X (Mail, Safari, Firefox, Word, Excel, AddressBook, iCal ...)  
WinXP (Parallels, Visio, Java app, VoIP app) and OS X-X11 for  unix  
apps (xterm, ethereal, FinkCommander).

My only problem is I should have waited to get the 3Gig MacBookPro.   
I'm always whacking my head on the 2 Gig limit on my current MBP.

I'm a HUGE mac fan,  can't wait for the apple store at the mall.

Anyone know if the CompUSA in Holyoke is closing?  I know they are  
closing a bunch of stores.
