Also, the Air doesn't have an internal removable disk drive of any kind. You either need to get the wireless drive they sell, or rely on using a drive on your network.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks Tom. I *am* going to be lugging it with me. The whole draw for me is being able to use it in the classroom, and to make it easier to shift over to electronic paper submissions. Hmmm.

So it turns out I'm a bit cheap. MacAir is purty but seems like less machine than the pro or the reg MacBook.

Thanks everyone. I have successfully transferred the file to a jump drive for the trip home.
Much obliged!

Okay, I'm trying to wangle a new computer out of my boss. I'd like to get a laptop with a docking station, something good for traveling or working at home. Drew, before you even say it, I can't have a Mac because the university helpdesk won't support them, and the one competent guy in our department doesn't know Macs.
Suggestions?

I'm not the one that defaults to Mac, I do use and like them, but I also use and like quite a few PC's.
For laptops I'm partial to Lenovo and Toshiba.

Jilli, I'm pretty sure the iPhone can read PDFs natively. (I know I've clicked on PDF links in Safari and been able to read them w/o installing anything extra.)

I am getting a new computer today at work. What should I do, other than clearing history and cache, to clear off this one?
