yeah, i honestly can't understand why anyone would want a windows machine anymore. i actually spent about 45 minutes yesterday trying to help someone with a win32 machine and i felt like i was put back in Bah"ad 4. The only reason for me to run windows (which wasn't even convincing enough) was to run SolidWorks, and now with the intel macs, that's solved, too.

and yeah - hebrew is not a problem unless you use MS Office programs, which I stopped doing, too. The latest version of Mellel answers all my word processing needs if they weren't answered already by Pages.

About macs in Israel - as far as I know (and I do own a Mac), the only problem with Hebrew on the mac is with MS Office .
