- @jabancroft I know. Sometimes it's good to be reminded what a small world we geeks live in. in reply to jabancroft #

Does that say 17″? I love mine. Best laptop I’ve ever owned.
15″, Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz, 160GB HD, 256MB graphics. I’m installing Software Updates now.
I’m a happy geek.
I got mine just over a month ago, and I love it! You’ll be very happy with yours.
There’s quite a few things that, coming from the linux/windows world drove me nuts, but I’ve found ways to configure 99% of them.
Let me know if you want any of the tips I’ve picked up
-Eric
Oooh. Verah nice. I have a regular white cheapy MacBook that I just love. I haven’t powered on my older Windows based laptop since I bought it. I use it for everything. Microsoft gets no more of my money.
Is this for work? They told me the beta is delayed due to problems with the VM.
I have had a 17 inch macBook Pro since November and LOVE it! Love it!..Of course that was after recognizing that not everything I had would work on the core 2 duo.
Wow.. you are so lucky man! I am very jealous right now. When can we get some sweet unboxing pictures of the laptop?
