Although I took a vacation day today, we stuck pretty close to home except for a journey over to the University Village Apple store where we bought a MacBook. 

The earth is not spinning backwards and dogs and cats are not living together so all seems right with the world even though this is our first foray into Apple land.  Early feedback is really positive.  We needed something for home to do pictures, movies, music, internet on and, quite frankly, after spending a few too many confusing cycles on the Dell configuration site (as well as feedback from trusted techie friends) we took the Mac plunge.

Also got to hand it to the marketing folks in Cupertino for the experience..not just a retail presence but a "place" to spend time.
