[Ti] Buying the "faster" Mac model

[William Scammell]

Get a laptop.

It's nice having your work environment *anywhere* you go.

As for the money, you can use/get an Apple Loan, and write off the  
expense for next year's taxes. (Including any interest i believe,  
though it's better to pay it off quickly.) Also, no matter what you  
buy, it will make you more money.

Yet Another Bill  :)
