Just FYI  .  .  If you haven't seen the new keynote from Apple, you should go check out apple.com and see the new series of Macbooks and Macbook Pros.  They took an amazing computer and made them EVEN BETTER!!!!!

I thought the original MacBook was pretty crappy.  It had a very weak graphics card, a display that was only 16-bit (worse than almost everything else on the market) and cost too much for an entry level computer.  The new aluminum one fixes all of my complaints and is much closer to the ";Pro"; model.

Except that Apple eliminated the firewire port....bad apple.

Yeah, I forgot about that- almost everyone I know has an external firewire drive.  It's possible to buy a new external hd case for about $10 that has USB 2.0.
