Russell: I wasn't aware of the simultaneous OS capability. Where can I find
out more?
A 19" powerbook would be very coool, but I'm probably not interested in a Mac
because of the high price, and I don't think I could live with that stupid
1-button mouse :(
I also need to stick with Intel architecture as that is my primary development
target (even if it is Java). I also occasionally need to run software that
only runs on that other OS that starts with W... (dual-boot or VMWare).
