I'm sure you're all welcome, as long as you're reasonably polite.

I've never been associated with the above. Ax Don. (g)

And I'm not about to leave. (g)

Anyway, back on track....

The MacBooks are definitely winning converts, everywhere. Saw a die hard PC dood sheepishly sporting one, in the bowels of a very high tech environment. Not only that, he was not getting derision for it, as would have been the case not too long ago. Instead, his black MacBook was gathering interest from the other cubicles, as it were.

Now, I'm too old to know the stock and the company are not one and the same -- the chart talks about one and the PR dept about the other. And, I tune out PR and stare at the chart instead. Still, there is something killer about the MacBooks. Don't ax me what it is, I don't like them all that much -- prefer the MacBook Pros -- but the ayes have it: something about that black MacBook. Red hot.

Yes, the one I saw getting ogled today was running XP via Parallels.

Thanks for the welcome!

Yes, our little group is exceedingly polite, although we do stray off on off topic humor at times.

To know us is to love us! ; )

All long and strong Mac users.

Some are over on investorshub.com, as well.

Oddly, as of this morning, we are able to access the old Yahoo MB format for chronological posts with a hoop or two to jump through. Apparently, they were inundated with angry emails from traders over the last 24 hours.

This is a very nice site and I appreciate your hospitality. It is a pleasure meeting you!
