13. It's not just the MacBook that is cutting down on ports...

As I'm looking at various options it's clear that most laptop makers are limiting ports, probably for reasons of profile and weight.

What I meant by my query was that I don't have any reason to use the Mac OS for a particular function, so would probably spend almost all time in other OS.

But I understand from Mac-based users that it's superior for a number of graphics functions, so it might be worth a try.

No matter what I end up with, I'm fairly sure I'll need a dock, though.

ka-ching, ka-ching...

regretfully,
Bright
