Amen....cutie.

So...my kid is about ready to go to college and he has Mac on the brain.
$1200 for a 13 in. Mac Book when he could pay half that much for a souped up
Toshiba with a larger screen.

His money....but I don't understand the reasoning.

I'm on the 12th hole, 145 yd. par 3. My 4 hdcp. golfing buddy hits a nice 8
iron shot for his 2nd lifetime hole in one.

I missed the whole thing. Why?
I was messing with my new I-Phone and had my back turned to him.

There is a lesson here.....

No. Those without taste and subtlety rarely understand that there is
more to computers than just the raw price.

VMWare's market is disappearing thanks to KVM and various other
less expensive or free virtualization solutions.
