I'm not a Mac person...

...but I think I've decided I want one. iTouch is too small. eBook readers are too much of a niche machine. Laptop is unweildy and I often haul it just to access/view files. I think this would be a good solution for transferring files between workhorse machines and for document viewing.

Working ahead, cranberry orange biscotti get sliced up...
and laid out for their second baking. July 4th guests will get a treat usually reserved for Christmas Cookie tins!
