I want toys

I was looking today at CNet's reviews of various new Mac laptops. In a word: sweeeeeeet. Also, not as expensive as they used to be. I currently use a Compaq Presario V2545, which I bought in October 2005. Not that its a bad computer, it gets the job done, but the real reason I bought it was because it was cheap (about $1000 Canadian, which was cheap before the development of laptops for the third world), and I needed a computer for school since my old Thinkpad R45 died. And that was when a Thinkpad was the real deal, not the made in China knock-off. But I'm getting off topic. Yes, I've decided to go Mac for my next machine, I want to see if OS X is as good as everyone says it is, the last Mac I used ran OS 6 if memory serves.

But really, I probably won't be in the market for a replacement until my current one craps out. What with student loans and all, my disposable income is not nearly enough to get the toys I want. So I'll put the Mac on the wish list right next to the iPod, plasma tv, 7.1 sound system, the list goes on.
