Legal Commentary

    There?s been lots of Apple news over the past few days:  Steve Jobs [probably] had a liver transplant a few months ago, at least according to the Wall Street Journal.  Apple has sold more than a million of its newest Iphone within the first three days of making it available.  And Apple stock is selling in the middle of its 52-week range.

   Closer to home, I?m about to use my PC to click and order a MacBook.  Although the Mac v. PC topic has been explored before on Prawfsblawg, I want to return to The Laptop Dilemma (with apologies to Michael Pollan?s The Omnivore?s Dilemma).  I?m caught in the Mac v. PC wars   Perhaps I?ve been captured (I?m certainly enraptured) by almost all of the ads in the almost 8 minute youtube video:    Hello, I?m a Mac.  And I?m a PC.   I love the ones where the PC is sick, but the Mac remains healthy; where the PC  and Mac each talk about the cool things they can do (the PC has a calculator!); and where the two of them see a therapist to discuss their differences.  So I?m probably going to use my educators? discount, get a free Ipod Touch (not an Itouch, the indignant Apple salesperson informed me), and join the MacWorld.  But I?ll get Microsoft?s Office installed on my new laptop.  That way, I can keep my fingers and keyboard in both worlds, and continue to interface with my work  environment, in which I still need to open WordPerfect documents (apparently, Apple?s Pages can?t open WordPerfect documents yet).  

    Please let me know what you think.  It?s not too late to stop me, or to encourage me to pass go!
