MacBook

Michael Dale
Well the MacBook is finally out. I'm contemplating getting one.

Also I've noticed that my last post broke IE and really anyone running sub 1600x1050. Sorry about that, go buy a bigger screen ;)

On another note, I got an email from one of my friends at usyd:


Sydney Uni is selling original iMacs for $50!!! I don't know if you have any
use for super cheap old computers, but I thought I'd tell you anyway. The
School of Languages is trying to get rid of them. Maybe for spare parts,
extra storage space (although the one I saw I had a hard drive of a whopping
4 GB - not much storage space there!)???? Anyway, I thought you might like
to know.


So if anyone wants cheap macs. I think I've got enough. On last count we now have 6 macs in the house :)

Yeah... I've just been reading reviews that suggest it's more realistic to expect 3-4 hours from them compared to the 6 hours from an iBook...

I'm still of many minds as to whether to buy a used Mac or a new one... I don't think I'll end up using it for anything but I need to be able to play with Keynote as I'm using it on G5's for work pretty much every second day now...

A DVD burner might be handy though... maybe I should get a G4 tower... hmm...

Want to sell me your iBook for a decent price?
