    Oh the shame. The igmony. Steve Jobs will have to hunt her down and bitch slap her while chanting the mantra - "Thou must buy Apple. Apple is cool. Apple is truth. Apple is light." Once she buys into that, she'll be a nice little cult member.

                        I have two brothers-in-law that fix Macs for a living (I send them sympathy cards). I'd think they'd both freak at that picture - fixing a Mac is not the easiest task in the universe and especially not the Laptops. But a Mac user squeals insistently "Macs are so reliable - they hardly ever break down!!!". Tell that to my in-laws. A Mac is about as likely as a PC to develop a fault (more for some models, less for others), but of course Mac users don't appreciate that because they pretty much have to take them back to the shop for any kind of repair (servicing Macs [pun intended] is damn sight better money than fixing PCs). One, because they are hard to fix anyway, and two because if your a Mac user you're already impaired as it is. Most of these Journo students probably bought a Mac laptop because they already had an iPod and wanted the associated fashion accessory - "It can even be used as a computer!" said the salesman. "It's a Mac!" he said proudly, and unwittingly* sealed his fate... * In this case "unwittingly" is less than a "half-wit" and somewhere around a "f***-wit".

                                      My thought exactly. I'm a fairly fast typist, and can free-hand sketch pretty well with either Visio or even Paint. I still can't imagine taking lecture notes on a laptop fast enough to keep up. I could see myself going back and reworking lecture notes on the computer, however. Back when I was in school I would recopy lecture notes and clean up diagrams when I had time. It was a simple method of studying and reinforcing what was covered in class.
