Macbook Air

If you have tried to call tech support for your Apple products lately, you probably got an answering machine:

Your call is very important to us, but we are all at MacWorld right now. Leave a message and we'll call you back once we come down from the euphoria.

I've never been a big fan of Apple and their Mac line of products. Their motto should be "You can buy better, but you won't pay more". However, this new Macbook Air might be the start of a new trend. Then I read the fine print.

Want to know how Apple can make a laptop that thin? They load a recycled iPod 80GB hard drive and an old iPod battery into it and don't include any sort of removable storage like a CD or DVD drive. How portable is that thing going to be when you have to carry a USB hub, an external DVD drive and a bunch of cables? At least the laptop itself fits into a folder.

Once again Steve Jobs is doing that "Got your nose" trick and the Mac users will all run to the mirror screaming. Come on! You guys are smarter than that, right?
