I haven't used an IBM since my first computer, an IBM 360 with 512K of memory. Well, it wasn't mine, but I did program Fortran and as little COBAL as I could get away with.
Been Apple since the II. BUT, I bought an MSI Wind for travel. I was going to hackintosh it, but decided it was too much work. (And besides, I'd need a USB keyboard and mouse which I didn't have. Just bluetooth.) I wanted it to store my pictures on travels and to write travel journal and keep up with FT. $250 was a whole lot cheaper than the $$$$ for the MacBookAir. If my investments ever go back up, then I might consider an Air. I think Apple has made a mistake in not going to a cheaper netbook. I downloaded Open Office so I have a few programs. I put Lightroom on it. It seems to work OK even though it only has 1 gig of ram. I really needed somthing lighter to travel with since my photo gear is so heavy.
