I think you guys have successfully convinced me to go with the MacBook, rather than the MacBookPro. See internets? This is why I need you around. And many thanks to everyone who donated to the Klein computer fund, and everyone who is yet to do so. Your names will live on in history, or at least in my heart, or at least in my PayPal records.
Now to resist the pull of the overpriced, sexy black one, as opposed to the well-priced, but less aesthetically pleasing, CrackaBook.
Update: The Economist details how my fundraising explains "why the Arab oil boycott of the US after the 1973 war was such a dismal failure."
