astounding to you, but some of us PC users tried and ultimately don't like macs. Or maybe its the condescension of Mac users that tainted it. Shocking!

makese sense... apple puts form above function and ultimately ends up producing a lot of gadgets that pretty much live for a year or two and then head straight for the landfill.

It appears to be a Sony VAIO. Can't tell from the photo, but it's possible it's one of the ultraportables (10"-ish screen), in which case Apple doesn't have a laptop with a screen that small. Since I'd imagine Sachs travels a good amount, this laptop would make sense for him.

What site does Sachs use for his e-mail? I can't make it out from the pics.
