And a friend of my Mom is also looking at one.
I'm still kinda out on Lenovos at the time...'sepcially since I haven't seen one in the wild yet.


FYI folks (and please refer to my Black Friday thread) any of you thinking about purchasing LAPTOPS at this time of the year, if you don't mind, hit us up with what you see and we can let you know if it's worth the money....a lot of them unbelievably are lemons...


On a Mac related question - Can someone recommend a great (not good) media player for Mac PC besides quicktime? I am planning on dropping some of my .avis and I want to be able to watch them.

I use VLC. I don't watch tons and tons of things other than the occasional movie on a plane or something. Very easy for me as a casual user....

I like Flip4Mac

I don't know if that is exactly what you are looking for but you should take a look at it.

Just a stroke of luck this weekend....

I decided Friday to put my Powerbook G4 on craigslist...

Asking price was for $650 for the hella upgrades that is had done (New HDD, memory, etc.)

At the same time I saw a Macbook for $800

I worked a good deal where I managed to sell mine for full asking price and get the Macbook for $700.

And not only that, the Macbook has Boot Camp on it so that I have the best of both worlds on one machine!
