Hi Larry, yep I'm sure it's a beauty. My wife carried my big Dell laptop 
with 15.4 widescreen exactly once (on a trip to Chicago).
She has vowed never to pick it up again. She wants the MacBook. She  also 
has an iPod Nano welded to her upper arm.
I was comparing iMac specs vs a desktop stem based on a PC.

Cheers
Hoppy

This Business Week review of the MacPro indicates that not only does  
it perform very well but that it is cheaper than a comparably  
equipped Dell. In addition, you get an excellent suite of software  
and the wonderful operating system - AND NO VIRUSES (well, very few  
so far.)
