Hey. You realize you're going to lose a whole bunch of connectivity options with an MBA, don't you? If you travel a lot, and do nothing but wireless things, then get one. However, in this case, size is not a good thing. You only get one USB port, no SuperDrive, and no LAN port. I wouldn't get one if you paid me, but that's just me. I'm just letting you know what you're in for. On 2/20/08, Cara Quinn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, it's the middle of the week; there's yer' excuse! lol!
