I gotta go see my brother in Alaska soon, so your experience is wonderful - saw some of the photos. I will fly, of course. He flys there from Maine every 2 weeks. Brave to tackle the Alaska Highway. I would need a load o podcasts to listen to on the radio for the boring stretches. WELCOME to MAC. I've been Mac, of course, since 1984, so as a grand-daddy of the clan I will be happy to help you out with almost anything. Have you noticed that in any creative group meeting these days there are about 2/3 Macs in the crowd? We've been using GOogle Docs with WONDERFUL success over the past few months. For folks who are almost always online this is a wonderful way to collaborate on documents without having to ship DOC files around and get confused. It eliminates confusion, makes things simple, and exports to usable formats when you're done writing your group document. Welcome back, man! Welcome back.

Perhaps after going through a couple of overpriced MacBooks, you'll head back to a PC. Personally, despite being online twenty four hours a day, I'd hate to use the web as a primary platform. Particularly when the connection goes down for a few hours and everything is inaccessible. Sorry to hear you’re becoming a Mac zealot again.

I'm happy to join the group. Everything is now going through the Mac Mini. My computer woes were probably a blessing in disguise. Yesterday I carted my ThinkPad x60s, dock, and a variety of related junk down to the basement. If memory serves, that was my sixth ThinkPad. I've also owned portables from Toshiba, Dell, Gateway, Sony (2) and Compaq; and owned desktops from Gateway (3), Sony, an original IBM-PC, and others. These are all on my own nickel. I've been good about pruning my software collection so I've only got four or five cartons of CDs and manuals to recycle. This is like going on a diet that really works!

You and anyone else are always welcome as far as I'm concerned. (I'm surprised/dismayed that Marc Rosenberg and Bob Mosher both reported that they'd had bad experiences going to buy Macs?!?) I believe we're seeing more and more folks eschewing convention and going for the superior user interface, and I'd expect the elearning community, concerned as it is with people and familiar with technology, to lead the charge. If you have any trouble at all, just give me a call. Jay, I welcomed you into the club when you got your mini! You and anyone else are always welcome as far as I’m concerned.

You found a few! But it is a rich seafood area. Dang, if I knew you were going down to the Washington State Long Beach Penninsula I would have pointed you to my haunts. You found a few!
