Cool, he's a keeper if he has that kind of money to burn.

Cool. I run XP because it's done me well since it first came out. And I do lots of image editing too on Photoshop, while running other programs.

the weight carriage is for hard core gamers to be honest since I believe they are afraid of the mouse cutting out at a critical time. (therefore, they prefer the wire) For noobs like you and me, the battery weight should be fine.

But like I said before, i will take the monitor or something that uses the same display. The apple monitors usually have awesome resolution.

I just found out about Coherence Mode in Parallels, which is super bad ***. It's basically an invisible Vista desktop background with retaining dock, taskbar and any other open programs. Note the Apple dock at the bottom, and Vista taskbar up top..

I have Outlook 2007 and iChat running here...

1920x1200 version here: http://www.kymphan.net/gallery/main....serialNumber=1

1920x1200 ftw. That's the probably first thing you've said that I liked.

What size? 22 or 24 inches?
