Very Happy Can't wait.

Trading my 8800GTS, 1.86 dual core + mobo for it.

Pretty sweet trade imo. Been wanting to flog the gaming PC for a while, not really into games these days so decided to give them a break.. at least until starcraft 2. What I was wondering is, can you buy upgrades for them? Such as when SC2 arrives would I be able to upgrade the graphics card? add more RAM? etc. Its a 2.0Ghz dual core Macbook with 1 GB of ram.

You can only upgrade RAM and harddisk, nothing else.

Smile. Some guys at work are really raving about MAC this and MAC that at the mo. You can get some really sweat deals if you live in the EU and know someone in the US that can get you a "used" one at the mo...or so they say Wink

This is truly awesome. Im using it now, and already i love it. Everything about it > windows, just gonna take me a while to get used to it. (Leopard OS)

Also noticing theres no delete key. Now THAT is a bit lame. But oh well..

Highly recommended! Although atm, MSN for mac isnt letting me sign in, says I'm not connected to the internet when i clearly am, so using Adium for now.

fn + Backspace = Delete. Also there are utilities which allows creation of custom keyboard layouts. I played with Ukelele, worked fine under Tiger, haven't tried it under Leopard, so dunno if created layouts are compatible with it.

Just an update.. I now have things running smoothly and have installed my first bit of software that wasnt already on it (believe me, it is packed full of software ; I'm suprised it can't make me a coffee, it can do everything else Laughing) Photoshop.

Also, for anyone using one who would like an msn version that lets you use all the features of MSN live latest version including audio clip recording/recieving, get aMSN from here :

www.amsn-project.net

Im just working out how to get Azureus working for music downloading.

Also, I showed my dad the Macbook for a while and today he went out and bought his own Macbook Pro.

Guess it caught his tastes too. Wink Highly recommended!
