I got a MacBook nearly 2 and a half years ago, just because I felt like it. Today, it is still going strong and I love it!

Only thing making me want to replace it (with another mac of course) is that my itunes library is bigger than the hard drive and its a hassle using an external drive all the time. :sad:

Don't be such a fanny lol! Portable HDDs for the win! Keep your regular tunes on the Mac and have everything else external.

Too be honest I'd be more inclined to just buy an iMac, and hook up the MacBook Pro to double up the screens :)

I want a PowerBook or iBook just to take around with me, by far the coolest oldschool ones. :(

I have one of these:

Sadly, they are both work machines, and as much as I plead with my boss, he wont let me take it home. I can take one of these home though:


Going to buy an iMac for the house when the G/F and I buy one though!
