Wow. So uh, anyone have any opinions on Macs vs. Microsofties?
Yeah, I am definitely getting the AppleCare package. I'd be a fool not to, especially since the CoreDuo chip is brandy-new. Plus AppleCare techs make house calls. Sweet!

I'd also get the 17 incher. More money, but more real estate for the life of the product.

Hm, you make a good point. Frankly, I was going between the 100G at 5400rpm vs the 100G at 7200rpm. Because I don't have 10,000 songs or pictures, nor am I likely to compile that much. I've been told that the 7200rpm is really for people doing heavy duty editing and accessing the HD constantly, but my goal is to have it last as long as possible, so I was still considering that. Thoughts?
Oops, forgot about the 17" part: Frankly, I would LOVE to get the 17". But I will honestly be lugging this thing all over hell and back with a lot of other books... on my BACK. The extra 1.5lbs or so will make a difference. And in playing with the 15.4", it feels big enough. I'd never do the 13.3" MacBook, it's just too little (although soooo light).

I know, I know! We need a BBQ date!
Don't worry about the threadjacks, I don't care that much!
Oh, and by the by... "PC" is a misnomer - they're ALL PCs. If we're getting all anal retentive and stuff.
