First, great support to Mr. Wichary on his PB buy. Mr. Johnson's iPhoto examples were quite vivid. Thanks!
I, too am ready to leap, as lil ol' Lombie is destined to never run OS X and no cpu upgrades are in the offing these days. My consolation is that she's less of a theft target than Al! My uses are all over the map from biz apps to party music and effects
I don't have many questions about the 1.5/15" but I'm not sure why I need a SuperDrive on a 2nd machine, thanks to Firewire. I just have no idea what an extra 64MB of video ram will really do - like for the Visualizer and G-Force in iTunes (through an inFocus projector at 20') or what the 5400 rpm drive will do that the 4200 won't, and you can't demo these options (maybe at an Apple retail store?). Even more arcane are the benefits of 1GB of RAM in a single stick - but with Apple's price the 3rd party memory choice beckons strong.
As for the case, my old Targus may be better camo than a shiny new one. Leaving a final question - AppleCare - someone mentioned it's a good idea as laptops are more vulnerable to damage - but does the contract cover damage - like "droppage?" Lil' Lombie fell off the bellboy's cart not once but twice at one hotel! But it seemed to sort of heal itself after giving off everything but sparks and smoke for half an hour afterwards (did the broken solder joints reflow themselves somehow?) And at parties, on a stand, it's topple city.
Another question is whether to wait weeks for stock in AirTunes in order to bypass Airport. Am I alone on that?
Comments and advice welcome, please.
