But I don't complain because a) its not my job, and b) oftentimes they just push harder (in my real life it happens). I wonder how many people leave the lists because of this without ever saying anything ? (they tell us in business marketing 9 out of 10 will).

Re: White MacBook Purchase?
Maybe, but it doesn't have the sharp edges the aluminum unibody MacBook has, and you could buy the low end stock model for $999 to accomplish what she wants to do with it. I would probably have Apple put in the extra 2GB RAM, or do it myself, and get a bigger hard drive than 120 GB. --- On Mon, 3/16/09, MacGuy macgu...@gmail.com wrote: From: MacGuy macgu...@gmail.com Subject: Re: White MacBook Purchase?

Re: White MacBook Purchase?
The cases definitely were not built to last. A plastic piece just broke off my teacher's macbook. The palm rests show allot of wear. They definitely are inexpensive. If you get an earlier model you can get them for like $500. I would almost go for a later powerbook.-Jonas On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 7:51 PM, Mike Baker psufa...@yahoo.com wrote: Maybe, but it doesn't have the sharp edges the aluminum unibody MacBook has, and you could buy the low end stock model for $999 to accomplish what she wants to do with it.
