I barely get by building my sites using django with only TextMate and Coda… horribly inferior tools to say the least.

Non techie, not usually how I’m described. As a web designer I also support an industry that uses Macs, not to mention Adobe products I have to have.

Maybe you could tone down the prejudice just a tad. Its a Unix based OS and certified Unix at that, probably could run a VM on it for your beloved Linux.

Sorry but I am still not going to jump on the bandwagon just because of all this hype that is being broadcasted about Macs. If there is anything else I need from one of the other OS’s I will just run it through VM. I feel Macs are still are a much better computer solution for the non-techy, or new to computers crowd though, as they usually are willing to spend more money on something they have no clue about.

My current Macbook Pro is a refurb bought just under 2 years ago. If the laptop hadn’t come in a box marked ‘REFURBISHED’, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between it and a brand new non-refurbished one. The unit was immaculate.

I’m now looking to upgrade, and am considering yet anohter refurbished model.

Those darn Apple guys are so good at finding ways to make money! ;) I’m sure that will get fixed quickly.
