I know, I know, I could Google that myself, but I would like to hear first hand experience with those of you using Macs at home.

we have a mac book Pro and love it.

Take away points: Does your firm support Citrix on Mac? mine does not offer tech support for it but many folks run it on mac.

Mac is a much more stable platform. we really don't print with our mac but I am sure people will chime in with tips. bottom line: love Mac. but we are returning i pad. it's like a huge i phone. LAME

i PAD doesn't do flash or firefox. lame lame.

Possibly 267th. The last place woman was 45 minutes. Second to last place was 43 minutes. Top women were about 17 or 18 minutes. The "fast" people you know who finished in 30 minutes would have finished in the lower half of women.
Did you really do this for fun?

I can't answer your Citrix and monitor questions (though I'm thinking the answer to the monitor question is to get a Mac monitor), but the printer/scanner should work fine with the Mac. You just have to install the correct driver. And yes, Mac computers play Flash movies. Quicktime instead of Windows Media, so there's occasionally videos you won't be able to play, but that's rare these days.

The monitor should work, although what kind of connection does it have? You may need some sort of adapter.

Unless you're getting a Mac Mini you won't need the monitor (laptop or iMac), though. The mini is fun, but you may be just as well off getting an iMac from performance and cost standpoints.

How old is the scanner/printer? There should be drivers, unless it's super old.

I can use Cisco VPN on my Mac, but Citrix is of course different. Why not ask your IT people?

I'm trying to find out something similar. I have an iPad and am trying to get my IT folks to configure my Citrix app to connect to the Firm's system. If it works, I think it could be quite cool.

It depends on your height. I wouldn't consider 4MPH a standard walking along the sidewalk pace -- a little more brisk than that, especially for those of us who are Not Tall.

Fugee Sister is short so 4mph is a pretty fast walk for her. She & I did a 5K walk recently -- just walking, no running -- and finished at 48:something.

Perhaps someone is confusing 5K and 10K?

If you decide to stick with PC, I got a Dell desktop last month from the Dell Outlet. There are a lot of weird configurations there but I checked regularly and finally found one that had just what I wanted at considerably less than retail.

There's an App for that.

Indeed. Once I get my IT folks to configure it, then I'll totally be sitting in the Starbucks with the iPad, bluetooth keyboard, latte in hand, and wondering if that's really Flower over there in the corner, Googling MN 5k results.

It's 1991 and I refuse
 
It seems like the 90s hip-hop revival is in full effe . . . uh, swing: there are apparently some free "lost" Prince Paul tracks out there from circa 1995, which is for me like finding a previously-undiscovered middle school bathroom is for Hank.

Mr Man just picked up the wireless keyboard for the iPad and he's quite excited about it. He's not planning on traveling with a laptop ever again.

Make it Coffee Bean and maybe you'll see me there. Middle of the day. With apparently nowhere to go. It is the LA way.

Okay, this is moving me towards iPad-land. But first, I have to see if my colleagues' campaign, to get the IT department to treat Apple users right, has been successful.
