I use Books from Aetherial Software, not for the books I own, but to keep a running list of the half-dozen books I find in the bibliography of every book I read that I'd like to read. I find out if they're in any of the four library systems I can us…

Duplicate--sorry!

I find the extra $200 to get a SuperDrive on the MacBook annoying, too. You've got to wonder why Combo drives even exist any more; as somebody pointed out, the price differential is about $5.00. Maybe the cheapest MacBook is what a lot of parents ar…
