I flew from Atlanta to Laguardia (NYC) this morning. As I was going through airport security and unsheathed my pb from its Brenthaven case. two Security Guards stopped checking people's bags at the airport to come over and ask if that was the new 17" powerbook. I said that's correct. One guard replied they make the best laptops in the world. ( I thought to myself, "That's right punk".
Then when I got on my flight two people asked me about it. One was a passenger next to me, and the other was a flight attendant. Of course i kept getting looks from various people. Some big exec looking guy had his STINKPAD (THINKPAD) and looked at mine, then looked at his, and I thought to myself, "That's right BITCH! Mine is bigger than yours!) LOL

Hehe, great to hear! I am hoping to get equal reactions to the 12.1" when I travel abroad. Then when I get my Segway HT in the summer, I'll have even more people asking questions. Muhahaha. Geekdom rules.
