[s-cars] ? NAC Macbooks

[Tom Green]

Bob,

Unless you are heavily invested in some single purpose software,  you  
will
probably find most of that large software investment is outdated and  
easily
replaced with new applications that are part of the OS or much lower  
in price.
The usual revelation is, "I really never used those programs, I just  
couldn"t
bear to throw away so much investment".  :-)  Make sure your emotions  
don't
drive you to a bad decision.  You'll probably find very little need  
for windows
in a month or so, but you can run it using Parallels if you can't do  
without it,
say, for VAG-COM.  But, I would recommend a $100 PC for that or Bentley
on CD.

Apple usually has the low end Macbooks in the refurb section of the  
online
store at $799.  There are always add-ons needed--more memory for sure,
but still a bargain.  Other online stores can save you sales tax as  
well.

Of course, the best deal would be a low priced PC laptop that would  
run OSX.

Tom
