Struggle is only an opinion if you don't back it-up with evidence as to why you think the computer is struggling. My Pismo really struggles to view the Macworld speeches (on my ibook clamshell (same age as Pismo) it was impossible) - on my new iPod Touch it runs like a dream. What I really struggle with is finding the cash to buy a new 17" MacBook Pro. Personally, in my ideal world where cash would not be the barrier, I'd give everyone - all 6 billion inhabitants on the planet - who wanted one a MacBook Pro - but I guess such mass consumption would be an environmentalists nightmare irrespective of the ecological footprint of Macs' latest offering. What really gets me is the whole environmentalist nonsense and watching the high priest of environmentalism and misanthropy Al Gore righteously gurning in the front row at Macworld. Such righteousness makes me want to ditch Apple altogether. It should not be their remit to 'save' the planet. All they should be doing is bringing the cutting edge of computer technological advances to the market in order to make ALL 6 billion of our lives, and by extension the future generations, better off - irrespective of the weather.
