[QUOTE="My_MAC_MBP, post: 1004363, member: 144905"] Nothing. I think Mr. Jobs has the right ideal that a computer must be user friendly and what is important is the user experience, not flash or as in Bill Gates case, arrogance. I don't have to do registry cleans, virus/spyware scans, etc. It makes computing fun again. Yes, as others have pointed out, another refurb is in the works. I want the 13" MBP but with 4GB memory. I have to install Windoze only for some programs that are not written for OS X. I use software for communication receivers (iCOM, Uniden, GRE) and serial communications is a must (KeySpan USB to Serial Dongle) and the authors of the software don't code for MAC (YET). Yes, I may try Ubuntu in what spare time I have. I am trying to get my wife used to OS X and learning to use Pages. The Apple Store has free courses so hopefully she will sign up. Otherwise, I will take the MBP from her if she doesn't use it. A MBP is a terrible thing to waste. :D [/QUOTE]
