Yep. While I wouldn't mind an OS X desktop I'm not enamored with the
current offerings.  I don't want an all-in-one. Mac pro is overkill and Mac
mini underkill.  I also despise the Apple penchant for slot loading DVD
drives. Unless Apple has some surprise offering in the works this year
that's the one area where I'll have to look elsewhere for my final
migration off of windows.
