I have an iBook that I use for my graphic design assignments. One night, I was working on a project, when all of a sudden it went berserk, the screen started flashing, and the whole project just disappeared. All of it. And it was a good design! I had to cram and reproduce it really quickly. Needless to say, my rushed project wasn't nearly as good, and I blame that iBook for losing the account.
I'm happy to report that my wife and I now share a PC I built for $300. It's a lot faster to work on than my iBook was, it hasn't let me down once, and my projects have all been really good.

I'm writing to share a tragic little story.

Bite me, Apple.

InDesign does indeed rock. I use it for all of my personal designing at home, but I tried it at work once, and was summarily scolded.

That little guy scares me... I can hear his clippety-clop footsteps in my nightmares.

Wait for the cease and desist letter from Apple. If it comes, then we all know that the iSlate is due for imminent release.
