I have the late 2008 unibody MacBook, so I was a little bummed out by today’s upgrade. By putting it in the Pro line, the MB gets a better display panel, Firewire, and a speed bump. I feel like I’ve missed out.

Well, nothing to do but buy some RAM and maybe a new hard drive for this thing. Upgrading: the cure for all computer ills.

I learned a long time ago that whenever I bought something, it would be upgraded, lower priced, improved on, just afterward... usually just a day or so outside the window of opportunity to exchange it for the newer, better, cheaper, greater, spiffier model.

With Apple, I learned to appreciate that ANY Mac is a great computer that will last me for years, get faster with every OS update, and run the latest and greatest just like the new one. (Unfortunately, my G series computers can't go where my Intel series Macs can with Snow Leopard, so I guess that's the exception that proves the rule... whatever that means.)
