They're like the bubonic plague among the techies I work with. Somebody had one, couple people looked at it, couple weeks later one of them got one, very contagious!
I've got one on my list, but waiting for my next contract switch, so I can get the customer to buy it instead of me.

"check out the student developer subscription. It's 100 dollars, and with the subscription you can buy a powerbook almost 400 bucks cheaper. Thats a 300 dollar savings, plus you get new versions of the OS free for a year."
Do you have a link to information regarding the free OSes. I couldn't find anything on the ADC student apple pages.
Thanks.

rainypickles: os x is the best os i've ever used. Everything has a shortcut, you just need to read the documentation to find it out. Command-w to close, command tab to alt tab, command m to maximize, and just click on the minimized window to maximize it.

I just recieved my new 15" today! The specs are in the sig, and like I said I used the ADC purchase program also. You definitely get each new OS version as they come out. I'm fairly certain there is something about this on apple's site; however, I've been assured by the guys on the macnn.com forums that I will indeed recieve a copy of tiger when it comes out (though I wont get any beta seeds).
