Personally, I think it is a terrific machine of beauty - mainly because of that wonderful, large screen. I almost wish I had justification for buying one! I missed the whole Mac thing. I worked as a programmer using Windows from about the time the Mac was first launched so never really had the chance to use one. It wasn't until I quit work and needed a new laptop that I rebelled and bought my Powerbook. And I have to say that two years on there is <strong>no going back</strong>.

It was love at first sight, but I didn't get to own my own Mac until 1993. I still have it today, because through an unfortunate series of events I didn't really get to use it properly until 1997! I still have it today, and still love it to bits and between you and me I reckon that some of the features of System 7.5 can beat even Windows XP! Having borrowed then bought a friends Toshiba laptop a few years ago we collected a library of Windows based games, so when the opportunity came to invest in our own new laptop Best Beloved wanted a Microsoft machine much to my disappointment. So we have this Evesham laptop thing (on it's second hard drive in 2 years!) I still intend to buy another Mac. I miss the table lamp (last model) and am not too keen on the latest (a bit clumsy for Apple really) so perhaps it'll be a 'Mini' which is the only modern 'mini' worthy of the name (Geddit!)
