Yes, we need to hear about every single solitary Apple product release. Boy, that’ll make for a free republic! Apple saves the day!

This will be a spike UPWARD on Wall Street. Heed ye who think it is from government empowerment.

It might not matter to you, but the 340 or so Freepers who are members of the Mac Ping List will appreciate it.

So, if you don't like it, don't post, and ignore it.

Thanks! Sounds good!

We don’t have an Apple store any where near, but we do have a Best Buy, and they carry Mac’s. :) Think I’m going to stop by next time I’m in town and check them out.

Have you tried any of the new releases, or are you just anticipating? Grin

Re: have I tried the new Macs.

Nope. They just announced them this morning. I doubt they will be in the stores for a week or so.

Don’t worry Swordmaker, your work is appreciated.

When I saw the headline I knew it was probably you.

Apple is great technology and we need to know about it.

Thanks for posting.

I don’t think I’m going to like that trackpad but I’ll try it the next time I’m at an Apple store. I had trackpads that respond to taps as clicks.

Apple is now using CNC to machine the MacBooks from a solid "brick" of aluminum.

It would be as much a waste of time as this type of thread.
