I thought that only self-acclaimed "artists" liked Mac computers...

fify.
True artists use UNIX/Linux (since what is more creative then building your own computer OS).
*ahem*
Point of clarification-
While I'm a Mac guy who uses his for jewelry design, visual and musical arts- as well as running his law practice- I'm not the kind who would make those kinds of errors.
Egads! Almost anything!
The difference is that Microsoft has 80+% of the market- Apple has never controlled more than 11%. Simply put, competitive companies can get away with things that monopolies or near-monopolies cannot. By law.

So in other words, its in apple's best interest to put out several stinkers so that they will remain at the 10% market share since once they surpass 30% they become fairgame for anti-trust legislation.
Nah...when they put out stinkers, they shrink to about 5% market share...and Bill starts buying their stock to help him avoid antitrust suits.
FWIW, I'm not that impressed with their new iPad or whatever they're going to call it. Its nice, but its not a game changer like Apple can deliver when they really put their best & brightest on it.
I was thinking about getting an e-Reader, and while the iPad can serve as one, it doesn't do enough else well enough for me to buy one. Perhaps the 2nd or 3rd generation...

I'm not interested in an iPad, not because I'm not an Apple fan, but because I'd like a tablet computer not a large sized iPod/iPhone or an e-Reader.
If it wasn't for the fact that the HP Slate is coming out at the end of the year, I'd buy that. However, since it is, I'm going to buy a laptop in the nearfuture.
