After being able to retire last year, I've spent the last 6 months in South America backpacking with my wife and our 3 little kids, ages 1, 3 and 4.

I am trying to decided between PC or MAC for my new business laptop.  

All great responses guys and as a newcomer it's great to hear people who have been at it for quite some time, still talking about their "job" with so much enjoyment.And even when I say to myself, ok tonight is relax night, I still always find myself back on the laptop researching something to do with real estate investing.I guess to counter act my question.

Its holstered visibility works as well as flashing (but does so in a legal manner) and puts folks on notice that I'm not looking for and do not desire any trouble.I normally don't tote it around.

I will get on my laptop in about an hour.

To me its a lot cleaner when my business buys my laptop or software or internet service or cell phone and my business pays me mileage for driving my car, etc. 

And more new HVAC backpack units than I care to remember.

Guys;  MySQL is easily installed on any PC or Mac :)  In fact, so is the Apache server, PHP and Perl - - my laptop is my development platform for web services.As to what data is important or useful is GREATLY dependent upon the intended usage.

But Auntie Hattie ... the grammar and spelling features on my laptop and, especially, my phone misspell words like color and organization {<- look did it again} all the time!

Will try again on laptop later.
