Dear Bill, I now have a MAC
I am not someone who adopts technology for the cool. After all it took me half a decade to finally get a sidekick. And between IM on the sidekick and my blackberry I can replicate about 70% of my desktop experience while on the road. Often to my wife’s chagrin (since I may occasionally read a message while driving).
So why am I on a MacBook?
The strange but true answer is that the power supply pin on my last 2 machines broke. In coping with this I now have another place where the lack of Interoperability drives me nuts. But I digress.
So here I am with a Leopard, where I am changing my spots. I was told to load Vista on the machine. But I am in no hurry. My first goal is to get use to have a single mouse button.
It’s the little things that make the difference between kewl and cold.
I may sing the praises of the wow factor here, but for today. I am glad the machine is working.

The control button is your friend when it comes to faking a right-click, but you probably already know that by now. Also, you can plug your 3-button USB mouse in and it'll work nicely. If you stick with it, Windows will start to seem clunky when you're forced to use it in about a week or two. My advice: stick with Leopard, run Parallels or VMware Fusion if you really need a Windows App. And remember that Leopard is really Unix with a shiny coat, so if you get frustrated you can always hit the command line and figure out what's broken.
