I had to part with my 15 inch titanium powerbook Sunday and they said it would take two weeks to get it back. It's a really slick process when you have something wrong with your machine. I called support and said um.... ya it doesn't turn on and he said you live close to an apple store would you like to drop it off for them to diagnose it. So I said sure and he set me up a "Genius Bar" appointment while I was on the phone. I showed up and they called my name ran a bunch of diagnostics and said yep... it's broke. So I cried a little bit until he pried it out of my hands.

But I didn't let that stop my Mac fever, oh no! I have been wanting a Mac Mini for awhile and now had a perfect reason/excuse! So I bought the Core Duo and headed home to set it up and continue feeding my addiction.

It's really funny, I used to make fun of Mac users because it was so cult like, but then OS X came out and all the suck went away and I got drawn towards the light. I guess long story short, you can put me on the list of people that wouldn't want to be without mine for an extended period. All my windows boxes are gone, it's just my PB and my linux firewall/fileserver/proxy/dev/dhcp/ntp/Myth Tv/asterisk server. And I guess the new family member my Mac Mini.
