If I did, the one that came with my macbook pro wouldn't have died 5.5months after I bought it... right? But the new one worked fine. For about 5.5months (new I should have bought the extended warranty). The air looks nice, but I think I'll buy a car instead. This comic is really great. But you guys need a joke about Soy Lattes from BarSucks because all web designers would die without them. And that's funny. :o| yes, optical drives are dumb, I don’t need one… apparently.

Comic. Ever. Seriously, it's one of my all time favorites. I was just re-reading it after purchasing my iPhone this weekend just past and I only just noticed the 'new iPhone' smell! I don't know what it is, but I like it. How on earth do you notice that a phone has a smell. Perhaps I don't want to know. Best. Comic. Ever.

Im not kidding when I say that reading comments like this makes that late nights and self imposed deadlines worth it. Congrats on the impending graduation. The world is a terrifying and horrible place...oh wait, you're in Canada. I'm sure you'll be fine. -Joel forthesun,

Thank you, dear <strike>friend</strike>stranger, for all the glee you have brought into my geeky, geeky life.

The MBA is designed purely for those with a large disposable income, and is nothing more than an over-sized blackberry and fashion accessory. That being said, it would have its uses if it was a very cheap computer. Some people (Wife, i'm thinking here) don't use their computers for much more than a bit of browsing, email, and word processing. A light, semi-computer is ideal for them.

I had some sort of witty retort but that little bit of coincidence made me forget it. Fail. No joke, as I pulled up this comment to reply, a Macbook Air commercial came on.
