Thanks for the info guys. I don't really have to worry about an IT department or anything as I work for a very small company and it won't be hooking up to a network at work (onsite with ford in dearborn) or anything. It may be a bonus type of thing for my internship this summer (meaning I keep it) and if so I'm going to really go for the macbook if they will let me.
If I can't do the mac I will check out the toshiba since you guys hold it in such high regards.
