      I don't need Windows. Currently I'm using Linux. It's purpose (besides Code Project) would be C++ development. No Windows, no MS tools needed.

      You are hard core... Why don't you wait for Windows 7 and give that a whirl?

        Since my experience with Macs is completely non existent, I have this question: Are Macs worth the extra money? And if they are, why?

        To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.

          The new Dell Adamo[^] looks like a nice alternative to Apple if you don't need/want OSX.

            All I'll say is go try one out before buying one. Same with any computer/camera/car/girlfriend. (I use a MacBook and really like it. But, as Chris says, it is not for everyone. Also, I don't do Windows dev.)

            cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                  The Adamo is lovely to look at but it is a MacBook Air competitor and pretty pricey at that. I guess if you need it that thin then go for it, otherwise a 13" MacBook does well.

                  cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                      Because that would be like buying Expression Blend... paying more money for something that is just a little less crappy than what you spent money on previously.

                        So you can just push the mouse around but not use it to click on anything? Handy. Edit for the humour-impaired univoter: It was a joke. Or did you seriously believe that I thought that Apple invented a mouse that you couldn't click with? :rolleyes:

                                IIRC pushing down on it makes it click.

                                    On the laptops the trackpad is one big button, press near the bottom and it depresses a bit with a nice click sound (physical, not out of the speakers.) You can see a video of it here[^]. Sounds odd but it works very well in practice, I can't bear going back even to older MacBooks with the physically separate buttons. With the Mighty Mouse the whole chassis leans forward for a click. Tilt left for a left click, tilt right for a right click.

                                    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                                        True but it was funny in the row :) Bar (or anywhere else) conversation: You: hi there She: hi You: can I try you out first, before committing to a relationship? She: [fill in yourself] :)
