I'm always amazed at the wide range of opinions that surface after Apple announces some new product. In this case, I can't tell if Phillip is serious or satirical about a 23" Powerbook. Are you? Further, I am always amazed that those who think so little of Apple continue to hang around instead of "hey dude, I'm buying a Dell." Just as the Boxer in Simon and Garfunkle's song, who keeps threatening to leave, and just as Alex Baldwin, who promised to leave the US if Bush was elected president, are you guys STILL here? I agree that it's a free country and you can say anything you want, but it's getting a little old.
