Even though I had my share of problems with my ibook lately (as I write this my ibook G4 is in repairs again)  I like Mac computers. I don’t regret switching even though there is a learning curve. Once the switch is made some kind of symbiosis takes place. <\/p>\n

I our world of instant communication and connection we need reliability. A good and fast connection and the right tools. Internet connection has improved here in Thailand in the last 8 years, but can still drive you crazy. It is slow and fails all the time. But programs have improved. I use ichat, a mac only program.
