want to see the pricing on the tablet. I've heard it's going to be in the $1,000 range, which seemed too pricey for my wants, that is until the ereader I was looking at (the Que from plastic logic), showed up at CES with a price tag of $800. If I'm looking at spending 800 on an ereader, than I'm spending 1,000 on a tablet instead

The latest ive read on the tablet is that all the parts arent ready and they are going to release the tablet in march or april, but you never know with apple.

Windows NT... You had to use task scheduler. Windows Vista and 7... Just set it up.

I did look it up and you can restore and backup just the changed files saving lots of time during the actual backup. It's in both Vista and 7.

Doh, too late to edit. Just wanted to point out I'm not a fanboy of any OS. But of the above choices, I pick Linux.

I hope you are very wrong. Did you see the article about the promotion to win an Apple macbook pro with a quadcore processor that was sent out but later changed to a HP laptop?? I can't wait until April for Apple to do that Maybe a cheap netbook to tide me over until then?

I'll give you a peice of advice...

There's always going to be a 'next thing' when it comes to technology, and with the way technology is advancing, the time it takes to get the the 'next thing' is going to get shorter and shorter.

Just pick something It'll be outdated before you get it home regardless of what you buy.

They are making a dual-core i7? Why bother?

The Mac Pro's are will have dual 6-core gulftowns(i7 980X). Now that's more my style.
