New laptop

I've dropped my old (model year 2001-ish, bought used in 2005 for $600) laptop before. But last Thursday when I dropped it I broke it. I first bought it to use while nursing Peter when he was 3 months old because I could nurse and use a laptop, but not a desktop, effectively

...my total after tax and shipping was $735.

Part of me hates paying this much for anything...
As the owner of a PowerBook, I think you're doing pretty well in the price department. :) Mind you, I really do like the Mac (and it's served me well for fun, research, and presentations), but there's more of a mark-up on them than there probably ought to be.
