Yes, but that's because us NZ colonials are descended from the scum of Britain. And proud of it. I do find though if I'm talking to someone from America (in real Life or on the net) I have to adopt Americanisms (i.e. not use colloquial language that's NZ/British) and put on an accent.
You don't get that kind of problem with Canadians, though...
I went from a massive ugly beige Windoze box to a TiBook on OS X. I've also found that it's incredibly stable and hardly heats up at all. The rare times when the fan turns on are when I'm playing Warcraft III, or in prolonged playing of Quake III. It's hellishly efficient with battery power. As for the one button trackpad, sure, it's fine if I'm not doing intensive things, but I have still got my Micro$oft(TM) optical two button+scroll wheel for when I am using programmes that for me require a right click. This is probably residual from the ol' Windoze days.
Nor is mine an ad for Apple, but XP REALLY looks like a Fisher Price operating system, and I was sick of Windows crashes and lack of quality.
