So my next Mac will be...

Since Leopard won't be out until October, I will wait until then to make my purchase. I don't mind waiting, as the newer products from Apple will be undoubtedly be faster and cheaper by then.
The dual-boot feature of Boot Camp is worth the price differential between Macs and PCs. It's like having two computers in one. A friend of mine told me yesterday that with Parallels (which allows the user to use the Windows environment within the Mac OS), he doesn't have to install two separate copies of Windows on his MacBook; the program simply uses the Boot Camp install files. I will have to check up on this, but if this is true, then it's all the more reason to use Macs for all my computing needs.
I still haven't decided on which Mac to choose. There are different things I like about each one: the MacBook for its portability, the iMac for its value, and the MacPro for its scalability. I'm leaning towards the MacPro because it looks sturdy and fast enough to last me a decade.
I have created this blog in partial fulfillment of a professional development course and have enjoyed sharing my thoughts with my colleagues. I now intend on keeping it updated with posts that further describe this melding between my profession and my favorite hobby. Thanks for reading.

Hi Chang,
Your blog on macs is really educatiuonal for me. I have a friend that loves macs and when he starts talking about it it goes over me. But reading about it is a little easier to understand.

Hi Chang,
It's me again, I mistyped educational and I just has to let you know that I knew that.
