Received My New Mac Book 13"

YES!

I've been dying to get a Mac for about a year. Everytime I saved, something came up to where I had to spend the money. Finally, though, I got one.

Let me tell you that it was very hard to pick which I wanted. Last year, I was going to get a 17" G4 Powerbook, then changed my mind and was interested in a friend's 12" G4 Powerbook. Then I became interested in the Mac Minis. THEN Apple went crazy with their new Intel-based products. At that time, I was still interested in the Intel Mac Minis, but soon after, I got a glimpse of the Mac Book Pros (15"). A friend gave me a presentation of his...VERY nice. He told me to hold off until the "iBooks" were released...I almost didn't. I'm glad I did. I read the Apple pages on it then the whole family visited the Tyson Corner Apple Store. I got a look at them all and fell in love with the Mac Book.

I really wanted the black Mac Book but couldn't justify the price difference between the 2.0GHz white and black, so what I did was build a machine to order, upsizing the drive from 60GB to 80GB. With the military discount (my wife is in the US Army), and the fact that an extra 20GB was only $40 USD, I was very happy. Even with the Apple Care Plan, this laptop was the cheapest I've ever spent on a new notebook.

I'm not going to spew out the specs of this machine, as it is advertised at http://www.apple.com and is all over the 'net. I shall take pics soon and post them.
