Any Apple user can tell you the myriad of arguments and complaints that they hear regularly from PC die-hards.  I don’t call Windows users fanatics, because they really don’t “love” Windows,  they just refuse to buy into the Apple culture. These same people are usually the same ones...

Ok, so I’m sitting here typing this on my new MacBook Pro laptop when a thought suddenly crosses my tiny little brain.. I wonder if the announcement for the iPad has had any effect on the sales of the MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops as a whole? Whyzzat you ask?? Well Lucy, lemme...
