I have a friend who bought one about a month ago. She's had one problem after another, all of which are attributable to the niche market phenomenon. She still doesn't have everything working. When a simple thing like email is a struggle, setting up a wireless network seems daunting and she still has the equipment in the box. The computer runs fine, it's just the interfaces and the struggle to get utility out of it. Most recently she found out that there is no longer a landscaping program adapted to the Mac operating system.

I don't know Macs. I don't have any answers for her. The best I can do is help her zero in on the problems and frame the right questions. I wouldn't suggest you buy one unless you have a handy Mac guru.

I took one look at the thing, noticed it didn't have a right button, and couldn't imagine how I could manage without one. I suppose the Mac has some alternative way to provide right button functionality but I don't know what it might be. IMO, life is too short to have to find out.
