I'm in!

There are some die-hards at work who'll be pleased, too. Thanks for the info.

Are you going to get a new(er) Mac now that they've begun the Intel switch? I'm thinking of a new iMac for home. I haven't bought a new mac since about 1990--been buying them off eBay about 2 yrs behind the bleeding edge. But I might get a new one, wtf? This maybe a major turning-point in my life. Will I buy a new car next? Build a house? Is this my long-awaited midlife crisis FINALLY expressing itself? It's like delayed puberty not to have had my self-indulgent midlife when I'm 15-20 years past when most guys buy a convertible and marry a trophy wife.

Stay tuned. News at 10:00.

shoot my oldest Mac is 3 months old, I'll wait at least a couple more months before upgrading. Right now I have to experiment with Virtual PC :gag: I have web based applications that require IE 6 or higher......it sucks.

The google earth for mac is really cool, if you click the hand while moving the map you can "spin" the globe.

Cooool, thanks for the heads up.

I'm a two mac household now. Bought a new G5 last year, and bought myself a Mac mini this year for X-mas. What a nice little machine.

My brother bought himself a G5 the same time I did last year, and he awarded himself an iBook for X-mas as well.

I told him Med Mech and his mom were happy with theirs, and that was enough for him.

Bot,

If it were me, I'd wait a while before buying a new Mac with the intel chips.

There is going to be a lag until the new software catches up.

Just like buying a new car, wait at least a year until all the bugs are worked out.
