Now, I don’t know what percentage of the market people like me are, but I’ve got to think that there’re quite a few.

I thought I was Mac crazy, but you should see the MacBook sale this week… it’s MAD! Almost everyone who has been waiting to switch to a Mac has gotten one, and at the Apple Store, they kept flying out the window. I guess in this case form defines function… the difference (or maybe nostalgia to some) is what sells it. :)

I transitioned from the original Titanium Powerbooks and found the Macbook keyboard to be vastly superior.

Still not as nice as my Thinkpad keyboard but then, few things are.

Incidentally, I touch type and have no problem with the Macbook keyboard.
