and nearly over the jet-lag. But unfortunately my return has coincided with the total and apparently very final expiration of my computer. Bear with me: normal service will resume once I’ve decided whether I can afford the MacAir or not.

Welcome back to sunny England!
MacBook Air? That’ll make Geeklawyer jealous…
Don’t fall for the hype of the MacAir. You can get laptops almost as small and light but without giving up all the stuff you have to sacrifice with the Mac from the likes of Sony and Acer these days.
Oh get the Air. I’ll seethe with jealousy, which is surely a selling point in itself.
Kelvyn – name one for comparison purposes. But of course one has to figure in sacrifices either way, like aesthetics and running a reasonable, functioning OS.
Don’t go there! You’ll just be telling Apple that you’ve more money than sense! Just get one of those cracking black MacBooks – great OS (now with added Leopard), nice and light, robust and half the price if you go with a last-gen one from PC World at 699.
I can’t bear readers shelling out too much cash…
I had a good look and think yesterday, and was surprised how little oomph the Air has: they must have sacrificed it all for the lightness. So… I concluded the straightforward MacBook is everything I need, though I did pay the extra for more memory and all that. It’s more powerful than the Air, and since I’m considering podcasting in the future and all that, I thought that might matter; and while I do move around with my computer, that’s mainly between home and workplaces in London, to be honest, so ultra-ease of portability isn’t vital. Oh, plus I loved my 12″ PowerBook, so it had to be a Mac (sorry, Kelvyn), and while they no longer make the 12″, I was never going to go beyond 13.3″.
I’d go smaller – say to 11″, if Apple made them. I know people like Toshiba do, but I’d have to go back to that AWFUL Windows nonsense. Do you still need those nasty “drivers”? Perhaps one day if Apple don’t go smaller I’ll try Linux with a mini-machine from someone else.
We happy few… we band of brothers… have kept the light of blawging freedom going as you took your leisure in the United States of America..
It is good to know… that you are returned… and have ben able to acquitre the technology of communication..
Fancy another late afternoon getting over refreshed in West London soon?
