| I finally did it! I have been a die hard PC guy for MANY years. I have been very frustrated with my windows laptop for about a year. I thought an upgrade to vista would help... OMG what a mistake!!! I tossed around the idea of a mac. The only thing stopping me was the need to run MS Access applications using ODBC to a SQL server. I came across codeweavers Crossover office. Install it and then Access XP. Loaded my DB, added a DSN and it all worked!!! Could not believe it! I am so happy that I am now typing this message on my shiny new MBP! Just thought I would share!!

| Well I'm proud of you. I'm glad you commited to getting a Mac. To many frustrated PC users are scared to crossover. But once they do... they love it. Is it shameful these days for a PC user to want to come to the side that embodies all that is great in the world? I'd buy an Apple iToilet if they made it... hell even an Apple iWife sounds like it wouldn't nag, and it would probably know how to cook

| No, but it'd give you iKitchen with nice templates of dishes. Of course all of them corny.

| Speaking of those stickers... how can I get more of those without buying a new comp or something? P.S. You think if Captain Jack Sparrow put an apple sticker over his eye would he call it "iEyeCaptain"?

| I just bought my mum a new Vista Home Premium PC with a dual-core processor, a 256MB video card, and a 250GB hard drive for her new transcription job. I hate it! Vista is a nightmare! Congradulations on the switch. MacBooks rock. Oh, and you can get those Apple stickers from eBay; I just put two of them on my Jeep.
