Well @Bernard, continuing in the spirit of Friday, here's a short story for your notes. Right, some will say that you need to add the price of an anti-virus to the IBM which will not cost more than USD25. Now on the MAC laptop, you most likely need a protective cover against scratches or dents for the aluminium body which adds another 30-60USD to the price. *Here's a short fictitious story:* *Young guy Part 1:* "When I bought my MAC, it had a beautiful aluminuim body. Sleek, matt finish with, really sweet and nice. This is my Bentley. Then I met a friend who told me the need to protect the metal body against scratches or dents. Remember this is metal, it will scratch very easily, so he recommneded that I buy a protective cover for it. Brilliant idea though it adds a few more mm thus increasing the original thin size. I can live with that he thought to himself. Afterall, behind the cover is the real Bentley" *Young guy now a millionare, has a girlfriend and actually bought a bentley Part 2:* "Hey Darlin', lets go for a drive in my Bentley. " The Bentely is custom painted and has a unique paint job. But he has to remove the protective canvas that was guarding the paint job against UV-light, so while his GF impatiently waits to sit in the car, the young guy takes about 5 minutes so that the Bentley is driveable. So they both head out of town, enjoy the super confort ride, hey life is good. They reach the rest point and the guy has to cover the Bentley again to protect the custom paint work from UV-light. This happens the entire trip and the GF is now very irritated with the attention the car is getting..... Back home, she calls him to the Garage and says she has to run an errand. She starts her sporty 6 speed high tech Toyota, reverses out of the Garage and tells him : "Darlin, need a lift? I love my Toyota, please return your Bentley as it's not practical. You will die young just removing and covering your car! , See yu later.. " With that said, she puts the foot to the Toyota accelerator, does a figure of 8 spin with the tyres screeching and smoking and leaves for her errand. Who said Toyota's were slow or lacked performance? -- **Sent from my Microsoft/Intel based computer. Affordable & reliable computing for Decades**
