cool, let me know how your tests go. I'm very interested in how this will impact iPads and iPod touches/iPhones. I would love to try out a Mac computer again, but I don't have that kind of spare change lying around.

I started out with an Apple II+ Woz design in 1981 that was a hacker's dream. Unfortunately Jobs won out on the Mac side and those always were difficult to hack or upgrade, but I got my first Mac SE in 1984 and many more Macs thereafter until Jobs returned in the 1990s and screwed up things. I was a technical writer and before Windows 95 we mostly used Macs for their WYSIWYG. The best years for Apple Macs hardware-wise were after Jobs was kicked out and before he returned. Apple opened up the licensing and several manufacturers turned out kicka$$ Mac clones that made Apple's models look amateurish. I lived in Austin then and we had three manufacturers that built these great machines and we could buy them cheap and easily modify them. Then Jobs returned and his greed again took over Apple. Of course before Jobs returned the Mac OS had deteriorated into a royal POS, so he did get that straightened out, but he immediately axed the clones. Now Macs cost way more than they are worth. That's when i switched to Windows and never looked back.
