Did you check out the eBay auction? Be sure to go through the photos are the bottom of the listing.

He works for the federal government; there is no way they are buying him a Mac. He likes to work on his own machine and thinks it works better, but my guess is he's not actually supposed to use it for work. There are all sorts of wacky rules and procedures about this stuff.

At least I don't think there are any more at my mom's house...
