Thank goodness for this thread! It's woken up a sleepy net. It's not quite tire wars, or air-bags, or disk brakes, but at least it's good reading.
Although I use Mac's exclusively at home, I use PC's at work. The Mac OS has come a very long way in 10 years. They have embraced TCP/IP (as if they had a choice) and even play nice with things like MS Exchange. I run Windows XP on my MacBook Pro through a program called Parallels, but almost never use it. Every time I boot up XP I'm prompted with critical updates to the OS and Virus definitions, etc. It's enough to kill a Viagra buzz.
At home I have a Mac Mini attached to our plasma TV. We stream movies from Netflix, Hulu, and of course my daughter watches Youtube for hours! This would be a great setup for the GMC, but I'm not crazy about leaving a computer in the coach. We can accomplish the same thing with my laptop and that's what we plan to do.
Thanks for the lively conversation - it's like a Christmas gift that lasts all year!
