I use my old PowerBook at home and have always dreamed about using it at work, but when it comes down to it I need a working copy of Windows for 80% of the projects I work on...even if just for backup. I just can't seem to justify spending all that money for a tool that I think my job should provide for me. Sure PCs and Macs are both computers, but they're far from equal. My work is markedly better on one than the other...call me biased. I've also tried the Ubuntu route, but always end up back at Windows because of some glitch like my Lotus Notes installation acting up, or the wireless card just quitting on me. Sometimes I just feel stuck in this ugly Windows world. :-( I’ve done exactly what you described 4 or 5 times in the past few months.

Go to the store, balk. Go to the store, balk. Configure it online, balk. But eventually, one day, you decide the time has come and you buy. When it is time to buy, make sure you do it at the store, not online. It is a much cooler experience. That is part of it right? Go to the store, balk. Go to the store, balk.
