I'm looking for an excuse to retire my (almost new) ThinkPad and replace it with a new MacBook Pro. I use an iMac at home, but I foolishly bought the ThinkPad believing it would integrate better into my client's environments.

Actually, when I've taken my old G3 PowerBook to client offices, it's always been easier to integrate into their networks than the ThinkPad, but today I discovered yet another reason why Mac OSX is a better business OS.

I bought a Targus Wireless Presenter, since I give a lot of presentations. The documentation says it supports a PC only. Yet, try as I might, I can't get it to work on my ThinkPad. So, for grins, I plugged it into my iMac. The iMac figured it was some sort of wierd keyboard, but guess what? It works just fine with PowerPoint on my Mac.

Now that you can run Windows and OSX simultaneously (and well) on the new Intel-based Macs, why would you ever buy PC hardware again?

Okay, maybe to run a *nix variant...
