[QUOTE="xj6jaguar1985, post: 715945, member: 60410"] Two things: #1. I am sorry I'm practically spamming all of mac-forums because of the drama that's going on with my MacBook. I swear I was a baseball general manager in my past life. >< #2. I'm sure this post will get moved too, but switcher hangout just seemed to be the most logical place to put this...:P With that aside I was thinking about perhaps this as an option since I just really feel this MacBook isn't right for me. BEST CASE SCENARIO: (I get my money refunded and this thing goes byebye.) -I haven't been shy with sharing how fond I am of eMacs and how I would love to get a 1.42 GHz model.
