"He's got a Mac at home and knew it could do it better," said Chasteen. "They
signed off on it only a month before we deployed, and while it isn't
ruggedized like the Toughbooks, it has remained trouble-free, stable and solid
as a rock."
According to Chasteen, the only other Macs in the Third Infantry Division are
back at the headquarters in Fort Stewart, Georgia. The Public Affairs Office
uses a couple of dual-processor PowerMac G4s to publish the division's
newsletter, he said.

Chasteen said he noticed Weed's PowerBook on a visit to the Third Infantry
Divisions' operations center in the desert.

"In a room full of ugly, ruggedized Panasonic Toughbooks running Windows
2000," he said, "the glowing white Apple against the titanium skin of the G4's
lid draws looks from everywhere, and acts as a magnet for the closet Mac
addicts serving with the Third Infantry Division."
