That's also been on the wish list. Although I make my money in the Microsoft world (job security- it breaks alot and they need guys like me to fix it!), I want a Mac so I can have the 2-platforms to play with at once (Mac and the 'nix underneath). My MIL gave me her <em>old</em> Blueberry IMac, but even with a memory and hard drive upgrade, I can't install OS X because it doesn't have a firewire port, which the OS requires.</p> <p>And, compared to PC laptops, Macs are a tad more ritzy in price.</p> <p>So, has Galen played with his shaker rattle yet? :D</p> Unfortunately, no.

And, compared to PC laptops, Macs are a tad more ritzy in price.

I wonder if I could use that line at my house?</p> <p>Of course, I'd have switch from being an OS admin type to a programmer.... I've started learning Visual Basic... but just a little.... hmmmmm ..... problem is, my wife was a programmer for 10 years, so it's a little difficult to pull the wool over her eyes with this sort of thing LOL</p> Hmmmm… I wonder if I could use that line at my house?
