A tunnel linking the two campuses would be the biggest waste of shareholder value I've ever seen. They'd have to go under an interstate freeway as well as under all the existing utilities that exist along any of the potential corridors. In the h…

Found a link to the news article - yep, this looks like it: http://www.theonion.com/content/vide..._revolutionary -Gator

I'm *exactly* the market the MBA was aimed at, yet as it currently is, I can't use it. I'm in airplanes, customer sites and hotel rooms 200+ days per year. The form factor of the MBA is great - smaller is better when it comes to going through an…

I'm still waiting for a larger hard drive. 80 GB is just not enough. My iPod has a larger drive for crying out loud! As far as the rest of the machine goes, for my needs it's fine. Only thing I'd miss is FW 800, and that's not the show-stopper t…

Spending 1/3rd of my life on the road, I'm the type of user that the MBA was designed for. Having used Apple laptops since the mid 1990's I'm well used to what these things cost, and frankly I'm OK with that. For me it's a tool, a very important t…

And I quote: "Such rapid-fire updates to developers are often a telltale sign that a public release is impending." I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen this statement in regards to 10.5.2. Joe

Where the hell is 10.5.2? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Joe
-
Thanks for the info! That's interesting - so then Remote Disc must be an application, or some sort of patch to 10.5.1. Fascinating. Joe

Therein lies the root of my question: If what you say is true (MBA ships with 10.5.1 installed) then some of the MacBook Air's software tweaks are installed on top of existing Leopard as applications and/or utilities, such as Remote Disc. Screensh…

I just went with the el-cheapo "whatever cable modem Comcast gives you for free" hardware. All I needed was an RJ-45 connector so I could hook that to my Airport Extreme (the old flying saucer shaped one, not this new whizzy 802.11n version). Sinc…

Maybe I missed it in the writeup and if so I apologize... What OS does the MBA ship with? 10.5.1 or 10.5.2? I haven't seen that reported anywhere. Thanks, Joe

I'm not holding my breath on this one. A lot of us expected it to be released during MacWorld week, then after that late last week when this thread started, now who knows? I suspect that with the MacBook Airs now claiming to have been shipped we *…

Anybody hear anything more about this update? I'm starting to wonder if they haven't ran into some show-stopping bug right before release... Joe
-
I had thought that beta versions of 10.5.2 have been out for quite some time now, and I was eagerly awaiting this figuring MacWorld would be the logical timeframe. Could it be that they are now pasting in the remote disc support and we'll see it …

I'm exactly the person the MBA is marketed at. I spend a third of my life in airplanes, airports and hotel rooms. I carry a late model PowerBook G4 with one extra battery, an Airport Express, a bluetooth mouse, headphones, a 60 GB older iPod and…

Folks, come on, think out of the box here. Considering Apple's recent track record, there can be only one thing. The big announcement will be... iTunes 7. -Gator

We use iPhoto because we use digital cameras to record various assembly issues and the easist way to describe something to someone 6,000 miles away is to send them images. Kind of low-tech, and certainly nothing like my personal photo album at home…

Here's a slightly different perspective: I run a hardware manufacturing floor with several old iMacs, the colored kind with the CRT, probably about year 2000 models. The ones that were easy to do, we upgraded to 384 MB of memory, the old green o…

There's an iMac in our Manufacturing Lab that has not been shut down or rebooted since late last summer. It sits in a corner and does four things; prints serial number labels, prints CD's, runs a constant iChat session and plays random iTunes out o…
