I can't believe I'm becoming an Apple Fanboy

I ordered a MacBook Air site unseen. That's a first for me.

As I write this I'm about to go workout and it dawns on me that I'm on my 3rd generation of Apple iPod. I started with the original, switched to a bigger version (to back up all my pics and show off my kids to my friends) and then for the holidays, got myself and wife an iTouch.

Goodbye ipod. With the new $20 dollar software that I downloaded yesterday, my iTouch gives me music, pictures and now email, calendar and a very cool basic GPS system that leverages the WiFi available. Touchtyping is still impossible for me on it, so it wont ever replace my phone for texting or primary mobile email, but its definitely encroaching on its territory. Solve the keyboard problem for fat fingered typists and I might even buy an iPhone.

I like the iTouch enough that I just sent an email to the Mavs IT head to see how we fans with iTouchs (and Wifi devices like Nokia among others) could leverage WiFi in the American Airlines Center before , during and after Mavs games, HDNet Fights and other events...

After many PC years, I've crossed over. Me the fanboy.

There is no such thing as an Apple group opposed to a Microsoft group. Try to get over the advertisement and realise this is a fake subdivision created by marketing. If you want to get out of this masquerade, try Linux, you'd be making a real point... for the moment at least ...

MacBook Air is an upscale fashion statement, for those who don't care about functionality. It has fewer features than a bottom of the line $500 Compaq notebook computer.

You'll like the two-finger right-click trick--all the Macs have it now. It's not as efficient as a real two-button-deal, but you get used to it. Are you using an external two-button mouse with your old MacBook? That's the best.

Oh, and the two-finger scroll trick...awesome! This makes up for the awkward right-clicking.

With regard to your Outlook mail, have you checked out O2M to get your Outlook mail into Mail app on your Mac?

Come on in the waters fine.

I made the switch and I don't regret it a bit

Also Mark you were great on Real Time!!!!

Are you the same Mark Cuban who made the movie about U.S. Soldiers and were on the 'panel' on Bill M's show?
