Also... one more thing, mAc-warrior, before you respond. I want to address the economic argument contantly used against xMac supporters... By your own admission, you would buy an xMac but you have the financial means to afford a Mac Pro. In you…

I'm indifferent. Whenever the MBP's get a full design change, undoubtably we'll see the new style keyboards, but the one thing I love about the new design, especially with the standalones, is that they've brought laptop-style responsiveness, short-…

So no one would buy new computers every year but, according to you, the average consumer replaces their computer every 2-3 years. There seems to be a logical disconnect with that statement there. And you still haven't addressed how the mini-towe…
