Thanks for offering to "show me the light". And I really don't mean that to sound like you are knocking on my door asking me to become a christian. You have been too patient, I can feel that "baggage" getting lighter as we speak.

As soon as I can buy a Macbook that does not look like a Socket Set box and I can use it to work seamlessly with the rest of the world's existing applications and existing proprietry formats, I will certainly join your ranks. And thanks to your advice, I cetainly won't be using Norton at that time

Oh, and watching them pay for Itunes music they can't share
Well I dont pay for Itunes but I can still share all my music with anyone - theres no shortage of conversion software out there.

Well looks are a personal preference (my black MacBook looks almost identical to any other black laptop) but as for working with the rest of the worlds applications my MacBook works superbly - even Windoze sems to crash less on it

You just beat me to it, Jet II!

TsW, seriously, though, the present day Mac (and you do not need to wait for the release of OS 10.5 for that) not only works seamlessly with the 'doze environment, it offers you your own 'doze, if, after you switch over to the Mac, you still feel you must stay with your, er, ahem, antideluvian concepts!!

Well, you can blame the beloved Microsoft for that. They have done their utmost to impose their own proprietary formats on the rest of the world and corrupt existing open formats like Java and HTML.

Even now they are seeking to block the upcoming Open Document Format which would allow seamless interoperability.
