Your Mac sounds like a dream come true, by the way. I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Pro as my next computer. True, I remember that computer taking FOREVER to start up.

I agree. I usually go on a coffee break if I have to restart my computer at work. However, I'd like to point out that I clearly remember one of the first computers mom and dad got when we were little used to take a very long time to start up. We'd get up in the morning, press the power button and go eat breakfast and hope it was up when we came back. Also, my Mac starts up and is ready to use in under 30 seconds. But the power management is so good I never even need to turn it off. I just shut the lid and it chryostasises and when I open the lid it is back in business in about 10 seconds with the same battery power it had when I closed the lid the day before. I know, Macs used to take FOREVER to start, but they are amazingly quick now. Except the iPhone... Nice. I agree. I usually go on a coffee break if I have to restart my computer at work.
