Sounds like you did *NOT* pay the "regular" price.  A good reason
to be satisfied.  Those of us who did pay list price, thinking
that the machine would hold its value for a year or so, are feeling
very foolish, indeed.

I had fun with my Mac for a month or so, too.  Then I tried to
do some work with it.  Then I found out that I had *NOT* known
what I bought.  I found out that all of Apple's promised were
lies.  No decent software.  No development tools.  Nothing but
frustration.

If you're doing anything other than playing silly games with
your Mac, please let us know what.  And how.
