How many macbooks with 3450 or Atom. Case closed. Or should that be lid closed.

I thought they went out of business YEARS a go. What did Acer just buy them up and never do anything with them until now?

Interesting that hoohoo doesn't consider software development as creative. Must write rather bland code... 'course, considering that software "development" nowadays is mostly stringing together modules already written by other, more experienced senior engineers (like me)...

Just because I can afford a fruity computer doesn't mean I want one. I can afford a room full of 'em, but have no use for them in my business.

Probably editing the code for something that is going to run on windows or linux though. ;)

How is it possible that the incredible minority of mac users get to be so bloody loud? Can you enjoy your fruit thingy in silence so the rest of us can get on with our lives?

Gee!

Bah!

Riding the Red Arrow Express from Calgary to Edmonton with a Macbook Pro open on my lap, editing C++ code, the bizman beside me says: "Oooohhh a Mac! You must be in the creative field?" "Uuhh, no, software development".

Mac as media machines is just another example of Apple's grasp on the cortex of lesser people. You can do media or development, or even spreadsheets, as well on OS 10, or Linux, or Windows.
