Jo, thanks for the experiences, but we're not buying one. My community college has one on hand that they bought new awhile ago, and they're transferring it from HQ (Ankeny) down to our campus (Boone). The sole Mac tech we have seems to be very experienced and knows what he's talking about—plus, the unit has probably been in use for the five or six years we've had it, so the leak would have happened long before then. Lundy, thanks for the info about ripping. One of the things we were considering was optical drive capabilities, and it sounds like beating a dual 2.7 GHz is plenty hard. How are graphics? Not that we'll need them, but it would be nice to know it can fry aliens with the best of them ;-)
