But I guess I'm beyond salvage now. I agree with Moof: If I have to be addicted, why not be addicted to the best :) TJ, I think your question is one of the most frequent ones asked by people who show an interest in Macs.

I am looking at probably having to get a new computer. It is still a while off (I hope) but I do have a couple of questions. For instance: I do a lot of school work and send papers via e-mail. The professors all ask for Word documents. What happens in a case like this? Do you borrow your friend's computer? Great informative post. later... Oh my!

I'm not a Mac person ... but I have no great love for Windows, either. I used to be a <i>rabid</i> Amiga addict. Although I'm using Windows now because my school work requires it, I <i>was</i> using Linux before that. Hey ... I have a weakness for cute little penguins ... *shrug!* But seriously, it does sound like you're having a serious Mac-Attack! 0.o Have you thought of joining a support group? ;-) Dear Dr. Scan Man …. can you say AD- DIC - TION ? *gasp!*
