[CUBE] Mac addiction

[George Pepper]

Yup... I DEFINITELY have a Mac addiction problem [I have four in a two 
bedroom townhouse, all connected to an AirPort network, AND I'M SINGLE! 
:^o ], but I'm also a tight-wad...

Waiting for the G5 PB's to come out so that used/refurb 17" PB's will 
show up with lower prices! ;^)
