714044 2008-10-23 05:35:00 One thing I will mention is that a lot of mac software, including the stuff made by apple, don't require serial numbers. Just a useless bit of information plod (107)
714045 2008-10-23 05:37:00 is that a good thing?? GameJunkie (72)
714046 2008-10-23 05:40:00 is that a good thing??

714047 2008-10-23 08:29:00 I'm not sure if it is a great time to buy a new Mac... considering what the exchange rate is doing to prices.

I've played with the new aluminum MacBook, 2.0 & 2.4 GHz models.
The new track pad is pretty cool, but I'd rather use a mouse.

The all over aluminum thing has to be better than the self destructing palm rest on the white/black MacBooks.
That said I found that the aluminim G4 PowerBooks and MacBooks Pro scratched and dented easily.

A student told me that a cat sat on his friend's MacBook Air and broke the screen. So you might want to put your cat on a diet.

If you do go for the White MacBook. Make sure that you upgrade to 2GB on purchase, otherwise you will have to discard 2 x 512MB.
The white macBook seems like a step back on the 2.4 GHz MacBook or just an optical drive upgrade on the non-DVD writer entry model.

Apple is the master of marketing... that doesn't make the hardware superior.

I suspect that I come across just as many...
- confused
- don't know how to use it
- fix it
- figure it out
...people in my Apple-centric place of work (over 300 Apple computers), as I would in a Microsoft-centric environment.
