Guys, thank you so much for the depth of replies.
I've just re-entered the earth's atmosphere after a serious morning of shed clearance & sat down reading these comments. The comments regarding feel & quality were something I hadn't immediately thought of but yes, that is an issue given that the portability of MY laptop. I may just have been blessed with Watford Gap Sausage fingers, though..
Northern Morgan - your last comments about selling your soul resonate with me too, although I'm just downright cynical!!
I'm feeling the love for Apple, then...so far...
