The fact is, I don't use my PC anymore because as much as like messing with things, I'd rather they work 99% of the time and I'm willing to sacrifice the nerdiness and wasted time getting things to work in order to successfully use my comp when I need to.
Here here!
After my wife bought her Macbook, I would always prefer firing it up instead of fumbling around with my Windows laptop from work. Having to start up my Windows laptop is a chore -- god knows what will break this time and how many times I will have to reboot to get the thing to fly right.
The Macbook would just work... open the lid and hit the shift key and Voila! No worrying whether the wireless stack will go MIA again or not or whether I'll have to wait 5 minutes while the PC laptop mulls over some network event.
It just works.
I bought a Macbook Air yesterday as a result. It is exactly what I've been looking for -- a computer that I can carry along with me to work along with my work PC laptop (that weighs a ton) without breaking my back. I don't care if it's missing features -- my purpose with it is to have a non-company-own presence on the internet while I'm at work and this fits that bill perfectly.

Reminds me of the scene in the first Indiana Jones movie.
The one where the sword wielding arab is felled by a single shot from Indy's sidearm.

w00t!
Thanks for the link. The orbital elements there worked fine with STSPLUS!
STS Orbit Plus didn't like your two-line elements. What do I need to do in order to make your two-line elements work with STSPLUS.EXE?
