Unfortunately "no" is my response... my younger son is off to college this fall and I have an very active job search underway so I need to get some things resolved before I spend money on new technology.
Interestingly, I also am going to be replacing a laptop soon. It appears as if I am going to be able to go "PC-less" once I enter the computer market. I have been keeping track of computing recently and the only time I use a desktop or laptop is when I have to prepare a document for publication-- get a manuscript ready for the publisher which includes iBook Author.
The software I need for those purposes is on a months-old Mac Mini that is shared within our family-- we used to keep the computer in a public place in our house to be available to help our kids and keep an eye on what they were doing, now it has become a deeply embedded habit to have a computer in the flow of the house.
