The computer is officially exploded.


So the question now is this: MacBooks -- going from a 1.83 GHz to a 2.0GHz processor and from 60GB to 80GB HD: Worth $350?

Or, huh: It looks like you can customize them, so I could stick with the 1.83 GHz, but jump up to 1GB SDRAM (from 512MB) and 100 GB, for $300.

Anyone? Bueler?

I installed RAM on my old laptop a year or so ago? And it turned out that it was bad and it corrupted my entire HD, so that makes me somewhat leery of external companies.

Also, I don't know what the deal with the black is. White is so much shinier.

(I can't make you a Mac icon at the moment, hon. I know I promised, but there was the whole kerploding thing. I'm sorry.)

You may have just gotten some bad RAM. Mine's working fine, but I can understand the hesitation.

I know you can't make pretty icons until you get a new computer... but start thinking about it! Make it purty!

The white is so much nicer. The black looks cool, but then it looks like any other computer. I like that the white is so distinguishable.

Oh, I know it was just bad RAM. The problem is that it's made me very twitchy about external RAM. Statistically, the probability of it having happened to me once is so low as to make a second time pretty much impossible, but... Sometimes, I think computers just don't like me.

I can see how the black would have a certain sort of novelty, but I think that would wear off, being as every other laptop ever is black. Geez, Steve, first you enable Windows, and then you turn things black?

I just wish you could still get them in green.
