Ah, yeah - they've been on the front page for a while (just before the opening of the 5th Ave Store and more lately, the MacBook)

Gotta give them credit - they're more valuable than Dell once again... [:w]

I really like the new Mac ads. Dell is growing and building a whole bunch of buildings here in Nashville. Also FedEx is starting a A300 flight from MEM to BNA to support the Dell shipping. China Air flys a B744 to delivier parts. With the rumored 32 percent return rate on Dell's notebooks I can't see this lasting. (As I write this on my Dell notebook.)

I would like you all to know that I bought a MacBook (BlackBook, which I am currently using) about three hours ago and love it. Simply simple and user friendly...Billy take note.

Thanks to all for the help. :)

Thanks Paul.

Juliet - The BlackBook (Black MacBook) is 'all that in a bag of chips.' The black MacBook carries a $150.00 premium. I will do a proper review come the weekend. Please PM me if I forget.

I know you end up paying extra for the new colour, but its just so.... well...... BLACK!!!! (and would go nicely with my Nano and video ipods which are both also, you guessed it... black!)

Anyway I look forward to your review!

Shame on you - the others will def accuse you of not being a Mac purist for electing to have the Black versions...

Ben, surely you meant Ray/Craig moving forward, not Billy [:p]

Thanks Richard. I was aware that BG was leaving.....things must be bad. :)

Black verison has 80GB (and so does the white one ordered online) but I think the black verison shows less dirt.

Richard, There is one benefit of a proper Windows PC, I can watch 'certian' streaming videos online. Opps, RealPlayer 10 is out for Macs and works for Intel-based Macs. WMP does not support Os X on Intel-based machines....I am waiting for the update.

Edited to add: To further my earlier comments in jest to the good Lord (Richard), I no longer need WMP. I have downloaded Flip4Mac which works very well. The greatest benefit is that now I can listen to my XM Radio channals on my MacBook via a Widget on the Dashboard. I do suggest that you switch Richard [|:)].
