    in 17" LED Display....HOW LONG???? Comment by tony1 July 2007
  • As far as a case I would easily buy a Neocase again. Love the handles and that it stays attached to your machine as you work if you'd like. It also slips into my briefcase (Targus) very easily. http://www.raidius.com/ProductsNew/P...e/NeoCase.htm…

  • I'll second the Treo 650. My Mac syncs up with my 650's "Calender" and "Contacts" just fine. I run Mark/Space Missing Sync that has made matters go very smooth. http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php I'm sure that the iPhone will be gre…

  • So let me get this straight. The 17" doesn't come LED at this time, but the 15" does? Not even as an optional upgrade? Just curious, but is this stated on the Apple site? I'm about to pick up a new one, yet will hold off if this is so. I just sol…
    in LED v LCD Screen Comment by tony1 June 2007
  • Thanks for the reports on the new MBP. I just sold my 17" MBP Merom on Ebay and took a big hit ; will never do that again, so I'm looking forward to the current release that I'll probably have for a few years. I depended on my Pismo for about 6…

  • I've looked online for a descent res file of the Apple Pirate Flag that was at Apples HQ. All I'm finding is ones that are really small. Anyone have any good links? It should contain the old rainbow Apple logo in the left eye. Thanks for any help

  • Finally got mine yesterday and she's ohhhh so sweet. Only problem is that it's too big to hide from the boss, but is that really a complaint bahahahaha.

  • Looks like the 14th will be a day for celebration. My bookstore gave the the same date.

    in Got your MBP C2D? Let us know.... Comment by tony1 November 2006
  • Is there any reason why a Pismo (PBG3) wouldn't work with either of the above solutions? I was about to retire this old machine, but this may be a great use for it. And, will using an AirPort be a problem? Thanks for any help
    in home security Comment by tony1 November 2006
  • For those of you who've received their 17's, any regrets about going with the larger of the two? In-other-words, clunky and unnecessary? Just curious. Tony
    in Got your MBP C2D? Let us know.... Comment by tony1 November 2006
  • I almost have mine. Went to my bookstore and gave him the ok to order two systems, a MBP and an iMac for my kids. I really needed my portable to be able to process movies faster than my Pismo and want to replace my G4 tower, thus the MBP. And my …

    in Can I Get Around a Padlock? Comment by tony1 October 2006
  • Great timing. Called Sprint today and they say that they'll be rolling out the EVDO ExpressCard, to work with the MBP, on Nov 5th. This along with the current C2D MBP is very tempting not to wait until January's MWSF. Hmmm just over two months... I …

  • Will it really take all that long for after-market vendors to offer a larger 7200 hdd as well as memory that's a bit less pricey?
