They usually come out in September. I'd wait until then.

^ hopefully her old G4 can hold up until then. IIRC she has had it since her freshman year of college about 7 years ago

That's how I ended up with a Mac. My sister was using her old ibook from 2000 and the thing was still chugging along. I was on laptop # 3 in the same amount of time (one had a manufacturing defect and the mother board went nuclear. Averatec) and two Sony viaos. I still own my first one which somehow has lived through 2 viruses.

Now I'm on a Macbook that I've had for almost 2 years. This thing holds up.

I have ordered the vaio desktop with blueray, so i will use that till something gets my eye......i will have it tuesday ...Yea!!!

***Cybergypsy*** · 05-08-2008, 05:42 PM

i got a macbook at christmas and my gf is gonna get one soon. she is thinking about getting the black (beefed up) one and trade me for mine! =D

would the best way to transfer all my stuff on the new one is to migrate? then make her an admin acct on the one i have now and just transfer/delete from mb to mb?

Mech · 05-15-2008, 04:11 PM

Yes, Apple makes it very easy to transfer data.

elementofhoops · 05-16-2008, 05:08 PM

The black macbook is not worth the money... sorry. just get white.

maximo61170 · 05-16-2008, 05:13 PM

she knows someone that works for apple so the black mb would be a little over a grand.

Anubis · 05-16-2008, 05:23 PM

shows how much I know I thought the only difference was the color.

maximo61170 · 05-16-2008, 05:29 PM

lol other than looking better

the black mb specs
* 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 2GB memory
* 250GB hard drive1
* Double-layer SuperDrive
for 1500

and the white mb
* 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory
* 120GB hard drive1
* Combo drive
for 1100

***Dizzle0420*** · 05-16-2008, 05:31 PM

that seems like a nice upgrade IMO. I wonder what discount my government rate would be. I can get the white one under a grand, but the black seems better.

maximo61170 · 05-16-2008, 05:37 PM

yea you should check it out. i know as a student apple gives us $100 off. probably around the same for a gov't discount.

BJ2008 · 07-12-2008, 01:07 PM

can anyone help?!?!!!
Does anyone know how I can modify the calendars in Office for Mac 08 using word. Word has calendar templets but I don't know how to modify their dates. There is an option to change the month and year, but the days don't change (are not modified in accordance to the year and month). Before owning a mac, I would use publisher for Windows, and you could choose the year and month, which would modify the entire calendar.
If you don't know about office for mac, I also have iWork, so if you know how to make a calendar with iWork let me know.
If someone knows, pleasssseee let me know!!! :)

So my brand new MacBook that I bought in December, which has never left its case or been put on any non-flat surface, had its palm rests start to crack (where the lid shuts).

The LED light on the charger stopped lighting up, and cracks appeared near the cooling vent.

Took it to Apple and they took care of it without question. They put a few scratches on my pristine cover, but overall I'm happy with it.
