He has a Quad G6. 5GHz, 2MB on die per processor, 2GHz bus with 10GB of DDR-2 RAM and OS-X 10.5.3!:)

And yes, he does know how to turn it on.

I think he uses a TiBook, there have been pictures of him on Airforce with his TiBook.

according to www.corporateswine.net

George W. Bush's laptop is a Dell PC. (http://www.corporateswine.net/dell.html)

Though I think it would be cool if Bush used Macs, I won't judge who he is as a leader based on whether he uses the same OS as me. I'll judge him according to whether he knows how to set up a network in his sleep or not.:p

He supposedly had a Macintosh, but he probably thought that he was getting a coat. :D

uhm actually the fact that George W. Bush uses Macs was in an Apple ad. iirc, it was in those booklets I got in Time and maybe Wired, showing off the (back then) new flat panel iMacs. I think it was the six questions page, it said Dubya and Clinton used Macs. Well it didnt say it like that, but it was obvious by the wording.

That looks like a PowerBook G3, the one with a 83MHz or 100MHz system bus, and has 2 PC card slots on the left, and provisions for dual batteries, or one battery and a CDROM or DVD drive.

I think that is a Wallstreet.

As for computing devices, I don't think executives need to use computing devices. They have their secretaries use it for them.

Yeah, Bill clinton sent two e-mail messages while he was president. One was a test to himself, and the other was a message to John Glenn while he was on the space shuttle. (Please don't berate me if I have my astronauts mixed up. I have been running fever for days, and my mind is slipping like HAL 9000...:))

Lewinski

I wonder if other people with 'Lewinski' as their last name are changing it to something else because of the notoriety.

I wonder if there are any people with the last name of 'Hitler' change their name to something else.
