Might as well add to the ad here. I've had seven Macs at work since 1986. Four of them were notebooks. I had a PB 540, a PB G3 FireWire (Pismo), a PB G4-17, and I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro 15 loaded to the gills.

I loved them all. I still have the PB G3 and G4 and both still work.

I remember getting my first apple machine, TiBook Onyx in 2002 and clutching it on my knees all the way home in the car. I couldn't believe it, at the time it was the best looking computer by miles and miles and miles, and it's hard to beat even today. That the current (not for long) MacBook Pros are no thinner is testament to just how far Apple was then ahead of the curve, and, naturally, still is. That computer still works fine, although now it has 1 gig of ram and 100 GB hard-drive, and no longer lives in its case…

Although I must include, first is not always better. But in the case of Apple. It is.

When you do it for the enjoyment, the passion, the inner love of what ever it is you are doing, that means more than doing it for glory, fame, money, and one's ego.

(I am wondering why Apple everything does in secret…)

Well the same reason ALL companies have their secret board meetings. If news were to leak about what business they were doing, everyone would be doing it and probably do it first. One of the reason I am a Mac guy. they did it first, they took the risk, they were geeks in it for the pleasure of the hunt, not like IMB and MS when they came in. "Oh my gosh, we got to get a piece of this pie."

Just like all those iPhone and iPod followers. Let's follow the leader and try to get into their share. But that is business. It happens every where. Look at books, movies, tv shows. the only ones that are really successful are the ones that go against the grain and give us something really different.

But they did it in secret, until it is out, then they can say, We did it first.

I just ordered a MacBook Pro the other day, I may have to return it if this new one looks like a winner…
