Well - I am still waiting! Why am I posting? Well - a few things happened - 1st - I cancelled, and re-ordered my MBA (yeah - that is the lingo MBA). Why did I do this? Well - a friend and collegue of mine said to me “hey Chris - did you know we get Apple corporate discount? You should have used that for your MBA!”. I said hmm… I logged on - checked out my discount - and it was a ~$150 savings. Nice - so - since my order was still “not shipped” from Apple - I cancelled it, and re-ordered it (same specs etc) thus - saving $150. That said - I would have had it by now if I had not done this :(.

More … That same friend and collegue came to me the other day and said “Hey - J&R just got a demo MBA, you should go check it out, I saw it - and I did not think it was ’all that’”. Also - I have been debating the idea of getting a MacBook Pro in stead (you know, more beef for the bucks, etc, etc). So - I went to J&R and saw, touched, compared, etc. Needless to say - it IS just what I want. I STILL LOVE my Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet. I LOVE the smallness factor - it REALLY matters to me. I WAS impressed - I will continue patiently waiting. As of now - I will be waiting till the 22nd or so till I get my MBA

So - on goes the saga - I want my (discounted) MacBook Air!

   The PC World (i.e. Win/Tel computers) = Your computer is designed to adapt to the environment around it.

   The Mac World = Your environment must confirm to your hardware.

   Forget Obama being a “change agent”, the MacBook is the ultimate “change agent”. No Ethernet so everywhere MUST have wireless or you must get an external adapter. 1 USB connection so your peripherals must connect via USB. Look at the back at your ThinkPad X60. There is ports for everything: VGA monitor, modem, Ethernet, 4 USB ports, old school printer, coax cable, XLR, alligator clip connectors… (maybe I am exaggerating a bit). The MacBook: Digital monitor, headphones, and one stinkin USB port. However, that is the sexiest computer EVER made!

   I personally don’t plan on buying another computer from the Cupertino Mafia in the near future, however I am told by friends that have held those powerful slender machines in their hand that it is love at first type.

   Best wishes to you, Shannon, the boys and your newest baby that will arrive soon (the MacBook Air.)
