I've got a Windows-using friend to sell this to.  Heh.

Actually, just having come back from foreign lands and wanting to get a new Mac, I was a bit disappointed by this.  I think the 14" screen is just about the smallest I can put up with.  The new 13.3" widescreens on the MacBooks are just too damn small.  My G3 iBook is huge compared to those things.  I ended up getting a 15" MacBookPro, and spending a shitload of money for it.  Although it will be fast.

Now is probably as good a time as ever to wonder: whatever happened to Apple making really bitchingly cool stuff?  Black computers, silver computers - they're starting to look just like everything else.  Or rather, everything else is starting to look like a Mac.  I'd kinda like to see some sort of weird colors.  The seafoam green that Fender used on its Stratocasters for awhile would be awesome.  I might try to do something like that with my new MacBookPro...

Looks pretty cool but not in any shops I know of yet. Not a bad price actually.
