All I need for the work I do from home is the insert/overwrite button and I would be set. Is there a way to do this with Windows 7?

I love it when people who don't know what they are talking about post about Mac OSX. :D AMDphreak: Just because you have had one bad experience doesn't mean everyone does. My 5.5G iPod is still going strong. Long battery life still with average use. Not sure why you're having such problems. What exactly do you mean by skimpy? You mean that it has the power of the Unix command prompt behind it as well as all of the OSX window system AND X11? G'dam! You're right! Also, that bookshelf isn't all the Mac apps!!! Hahaha. There are lots you can find online. You ever use Google before? Oh wait... I bet you're a Bing guy. ;) As far as being able to customize your computer... I am in the same boat, that is not to say I don't own and enjoy Macs. How much customizing and building of Laptops do you do? Really? I have a desktop that I tweak out daily. Rarely keep an OS on there for a couple months (I currently have Ubuntu 9.10 and Win7). When I'm messing around with that I definitely appreciate having my MBP and iMac running quickly and smoothly. So go ahead and not buy a Mac. Stick with your Windows 7 computer and enjoy it. Just wanted to let you know that you're missing out. To those who say "there are no apps for Macs," you are ignorant and ill-informed. Haha, wow. I love it when people who don’t know what they are talking about post about Mac OSX. :D
