# It's pretty impressively fast
Boots in near no time, and even though most of my stuff still runs in Rosetta emulation mode (like Photoshop), it's still miles faster than my old G3. The screen is just awesome.

# No idea
Stopped buying Dells at work after years of buying their kit. They just seem to have stopped giving a shit about their customers.

# Me too
But when it's under warranty and you've got to spend hours on the blower explaining to some fuckwit whose lack of PC knowledge is only surpassed by his lack of English that it's the fucking hard disk that's knacked, you wish for better support. Plus they'll more likely than not fuck up your order in the first place.

# ooh, snazzy!

says me, who bought an iBook about three months ago,

I'm taking a retro stance and pretending not to be annoyed.

# Tee hee
...
I actually got an iBook which was so fucked when I got it that I had to send it back twice, and then asked for a replacement. By that point they'd stopped doing iBooks, so they sent me a MacBook instead. I'm not complaining.
