Just got back from Office depot.. and Now I see this.......






Last night I was looking around Best Buy... almost bought a $1000 Dell... got as far as the counter and changed my mind... bought a hard drive that wouldn't fit.. took it back for a refund.

This morning went to Office Depot.. Other side of town... Not as busy.... Salesman not trying to sell me anything... I asked a sales guy about A Sony and mentioned my mac had died.. He is a Mac guy... and walked me over handed me a 250 gig drive made by Sea gate... $89.00 I said I really needed windows because my business software is windows... and I was tired of switching back and forth with boot camp.... He handed me VMWARE Fusion said he used it and could run Mac/Linux/windows simutaneously.... So..

I partitioned the new drive and Leopard is installing right now...

Thanks for listening to my woes... Encouraging... and giving great advice..

Like I said before this place is like a really cool family!!!
