Okan, I'll echo that.

I bought the cheapest one I could find and used it to toy around.  I got
sucked into the hype and wanted to try it out for myself, you know,
draw my own conclusions.  Truthfully, I liked it and had some fun. 
But, in the end.. it is not for me.  I just sold my ibook while it
still had value.  

It is funny you mentioned AMD laptops.  I had that very conversation
with a few list members after the last meeting.  

I'm also looking forward to the next NYPHP meeting:

"Join New York PHP in this year's pre-Thanksgiving feast of AMP
Technology. An AMD System Engineer will be examining AMP Technology and
the AMD64 platform. Stop by our IBM location to see how 64bits can
crank AMP up."
