And I couldn't possibly be happier. It's a black mid-2007 MB with 2.16 Ghz C2D, 1 gig of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive. I picked it up brand new for 879.99 (plus tax) since it was the last one they had. I've always owned vintage macs (classic macs, performas, a powermac 601) but never a real mac. The Macbook is perfect for everything; my last PC laptop was a behemoth.

Anyway, expect to see more of me around here! You seem like a really great community.

Yeah, I should have explained that more :p

I meant a Mac that I could do day-to-day work on. All the other macs I've owned have been outdated and only fast enough to do word processing on.

Holy crap, how'd you get it brand new for that cheap? I'm jealous. :( I've been trying to get a Mac and that's right at my price range!

It was actually an extremely "WOOSH" purchase. Me and my dad walked into Micro Center to check out laptops for college (and I've been macbook inclined lately). I was over checking out the Macbooks, and I asked the salesman if he had any student discounts or anything. He told me no, but pointed down to the tag on the side that had the prices of the macbooks, and it said 879.99. He said it was the last one in stock and I pretty much flipped out and got super excited. I told my dad, and a half hour later, I walked out with a brand new blackbook. It was sealed in the original shipping box. They got it in August of last year so it was sitting around for a while, but nonetheless, it's brand new.
