I can appreciate Apple, cos it's much easier to appreciate from a distance 
(running a decent OS on my MB, here, of course...)

What I find kinda funny, is that there is an *integration* aspect that simply 
providing drivers for an OS, adding gesture recognition, etc, will not address.

Most of us on the bar won't get anywhere near to understanding, cos we're just 
too damn technically literate, so the difference is much less marked, than say, 
someone who thinks GPL is a burger from a russian version of MacDonalds :)

Still, I'm just having a day thinking the i... whatever it's called... is 
amazingly cool.

Any initial opinions from someone actually using one, would be appreciated (Wifi 
bugs not interesting - I mean the overall feel etc).
