I have a MacBook Pro, and let me tell you it’s incredibly fast. Much faster than any other computer in the world, and you’ll be absolutely amazed. It’s so, so, so fast. Photoshop, under Rosetta of course, is beautifully fast, albeit some apps like Camino (surprisingly) take an extremely long time to launch (\>10 bounces sometimes!). I have two gigs of ram in my MacBook Pro, and use it constantly. I’m trying to get it replaced with the Revision D. [whisper]If you believe any of that crap I just wrote, look up. You’ll find gullible written on the ceiling.[/whisper] ---
