Switching ain't easy..

So, for the past few weeks I've been bothering Derek ad nauseum to see if he knew of anyone that had a spare Mac lying around so I could at least play around with OS X. I've looked at getting a new IMac, but I really can't see parting with $1300 to play around with a machine that I might ultimately put on Ebay. And of course, Apple has a 10-day return policy, hardly enough time to really test out a machine to it's fullest extent.

I've been toying around with the idea of picking up a refurb IBook and slapping OS X on it just to get a good idea how well it runs. The problem is most IBook are G3s, which makes me think the OS X experience would highly suck on a really dog slow machine.

Seriously, dude, just get yourself an iMac. I will guarantee you that you won't regret it. Trust me, ok? :)

Well, the boss gave me permission so it's not like I CAN'T spend the $$$$$.

That being said, I'M the one having problems giving Mr. Jobs so much cash.
