Well, after a few months of contemplating and studying and learning what I could about it I decided to go ahead and get myself a new laptop. Apple was having a couple of promotions going on so I also got a new printer/scanner/copier for just $30 and an iPod Touch for free. While I realize they're not meant for everyone I decided that the Macbook Air fit what I wanted out of a laptop and would allow me to save both room and weight when packing both for travel back to England for school and when taking things to school. I've had it since Saturday morning and I couldn't be happier so far. Remote disc worked just like they said it would from my old Windows laptop. After some playing around with the new iPod I wish I had had one of them when I was working on the other side of Seattle, it would have been a lot more convenient than all the times I lugged my laptop to work just to use it for an hour at lunch. I probably would've used it every day with the wireless network at the coffee shop around the corner. Anyway...it was an expensive end of last week but I'm very happy with my purchases.
