Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

I can just picture Bill reading this and just letting out a big sad sigh. And picturing that makes me smile.

Oh like Bill gives a crap. You're buying a copy of Vista either way, on the MacBook Pro or the HP, and that's all he gives a crap about. Hell, if you buy it for the MBP you're probably paying full retail, with much fatter margins than the deal he cuts with OEMs, so that's almost a good thing for him.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

Heaviest: Acer Aspire 9810-6829
Acer's $2999 Aspire 9810-6829 is so huge that starting it up causes nuclear power plants to go offline. Lifting it off a table--if you can--causes tides to rise in nearby harbors. And opening the lid slows global warming by blocking out the sun. This notebook, which weighs 17.3 pounds (more than 19 pounds with its power adapter), seriously abuses the definition of "portable." It cries out for a sturdy rollie bag--or a valet to carry it.

you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

Wow. Just to put this in perspective, the Apple 17" MacPro weighs 6.8 pounds. A huge difference.

I think I've seen one of these once. Some guy pulled out one and I was suprised about the size. It was huge. At first I was wondering if he was going to pull out a set of legs to screw into the bottom of the (huge) laptop, turning it into a little table.
