Hey kids, One of the teachers at the school I am the tech guy for just walked into my office with specs for a Dell laptop in his hand asking me if I thought it was a good computer to buy for himself. I started telling him about my experiences with my Dell laptop and all the headaches that came along with it, not to mention the 15 minutes of battery life. As I was talking he glanced over my shoulder at my 12" iBook and said: "oh, I like that...how much does that cost?" The Dell he was looking at was $1,200 for pretty much the same specs. I started showing him the ropes on OS X and he was in awe. He's calling Apple tonight and ordering his first Mac...a 12" iBook with a combo-drive. Score one for the home team! Just thought I'd share. -Brian
