Not me and from a (admittedly) small sample of other friends who want/ 
need a notebook computer for work. Yes I still keep track of the  
people in my former life and have carried on with my former job and  
some that need a computer to take home after a day in the office as  
they are on call 7X24 (like I was).
I have no idea as to what audience Apple is trying to attract with  
this announcement. From what I have heard/seen on here it is the CEO   
(more money than brains) bragging rights (or the 'uh" factor as  
someone else on here). If that is the audience then fine don't go  
around (on here) saying this is the best thing since sliced bread  
(hint it ISN'T). I do not think CEO's hang around on here myself.  
Sure there might be an odd one here and there (no disrespect meant).  
But CEO's tend not to be tech savvy. They also don't tend do go for  
the "UH" factor as they have arrived and don't need to impress  
people, its the VP's other junior want-a-be that like that sort of  
envy factor. Good for them, but again you won't find them on here  
either. So all these people are trying to convince who, us? Wrong  
place wrong crowd, sorry. Most of us have brains but not big  
pocketbooks to throw money around.
