Thanks for the FWD.

Kathy - I did see some pics on flickr. I have to say, I went last year too for work and the coolest highlight - I ran into Steve Wozniak and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/archphoenix/483236535/in/set-72157594478924309/" rel="nofollow">got my photo with him</a>! That was my super geek "Eeeee!" moment. Woz was kind of awesome. The Air is kind of interesting, and it's wicked small. But yeah, a niche market. One of my favorite designs ever was the clamshell candy colored iBook. Loved the handle, loved the design, and yay for color. Lindsay – Forwarded to Mr. Craig!

Have you checked out some of the Mac groups on Flickr? It's a good way to indulge your geek side. I don't know about the macbook air. I actually kind of miss the bubbly, candy-colored Macs of the 90s. Macworld photos! Have you checked out some of the Mac groups on Flickr? It’s a good way to indulge your geek side.

Netflix is working on a Mac client (I've emailed them about that) and I think that the new iTunes rentals store is really going to light that fire for them. :) One thing I think that Macs really excel at is creating movies/slide shows and ease of use in managing and publishing digital photos. Also, since there's built in web cameras with mics, it's really nice to be able to video conference with far away family. My husband does video chats with his mom all the time now. You could chat with The Boy (assuming he lets you). And with the new operating system, there's a bitchin' awesome backup program built in called Time Machine that I'm in love with. I NEVER used to remember to run backups of my stuff and now it does it automagically, and it does it really well. Plus, all the cool kid have them. :) Seriously though your stumbling block would be the stitching software.

I've been thinking a lot lately if I would ever buy a Mac for myself. It's not that I'm a great big fan of Microsoft, it's more that my specialized software programs for embroidery only run on Windows. Netflix "watch movies on your computer" only works on Windows. When I sit in front of hubby's Mac, the only thing I ever do is check email. What advantage would it have for me? Cool photos of MacWorld.
