    Pourquoi pas? C'est plus facile d'écrire en Français avec un clavier français... :doh:

              I'm 90% certain I will be buying a 15" MacBook Pro Retina with max specs (and most every accessory, including a wireless French keyboard) tomorrow. I'm almost certain it's stupid to spend that much money on a computer, but I am compelled to do so anyway. Please, please, PLEASE list reasons I should not do so. For the love of God, give me some reasons to regret this purchase so that I don't go through with it. I beg of you!

              You already know it's poor value for money. So just don't do it. You can get an equivalent Windows or Linux machine for far less. I read from one of your other replies that you're already in the red in the cash department, so it makes no sense to unnecessarily blow several hundred dollars on an apple painted on the back of the machine. I have a personal 'no to Apple' approach while they are such an aggressive patent-trolling company and while they operate such a lock-in on their technology (e.g. not letting you develop for iPhone except on a Mac, controlling the apps that are available, not allowing iOS to be run in a VM ...). But even if you don't have ethical problems with them, there's really no question that their hardware is overpriced.

                  I'm learning French. Well, I was before I decided to put that on hold to focus on fitness. Now that I've reached my goal, I want to get back into learning French.
