Hi Craig
I also have a 2007 MBP which had 2 upgrades from Tiger.
When I upgraded to an SSD, I saw that my Library folder was around 12gb in size and was not getting the full benefits of SSD which had been advertised. 2gb were for email database but I had no idea of other 10gb...
The best I found was to re-install and start afresh with new installs and just the apps I needed.
I used an application which copied folder names into a text file. I formatted the computer and picked and chose the applications I wanted to reinstall.
Used TimeMachine to copy My Documents folder back and done.
Just keep in mind I used Firefox sync which copied my bookmarks, history etc. (although Add-Ons had to be reinstalled).
Couldn't have been happier to just format it rather than messing around.

If you plan on keeping your computer for as long as possible always get the best you can afford.
To answer your questions:
1) Based on your uses get the I7. More and more applications will use multithreading so the I7 will be a monster.
2) I dont think paying the extra for 2GB RAM is worth it as the card may not use all of it. Thats my personal opinion.

But I think you really need to cram in a lot of battery power for listening to the phone at high volumes. It's not like you are listening from earplugs or such.
http://forums.macrumors.com/images/icons/icon2.gif And where would the mic/speakers for talking/listening go? My father's mini-Motorola phone mic/speakers aren't that small.

If you actually want a usable Newton, go for a 2000/2100 or an eMate with OS 2.1. This one is a collectible so shouldn't really be used anyway to keep it from further wear and tear to maintain its value.

Dang no one else going to Aventura FL?
I'll be calling later this afternoon to see if they have any stock left, and if they do, I'll be stopping by around 6 ish p.m.
Too bad I had to work today and couldn't take the day off - my manager has it off! :( :mad:
In the meantime, iWait.

a family friend has had hers done. But she spent over a grand on them.
So it sounds like a good deal based simply on the grand.
But, she doesnt drink wine or coffee anymore.
That to me would be quite a sacrifice!

I have seen it mentioned by other folders, but I have no idea where to begin. I imagine it's similar to building a home server, but I have never done that before either.
I'm asking because I have some old 'puter parts lying around doing nothing useful at the moment, that I thought I could build into something that would sit in a quiet corner of the house and fold.
Any suggestions? :confused:

Right, I am asking for a bit of help from you guys (and gals) my parents are moving to France soon, and currently they're using my year old iBook and my brother's PC, they want their own laptop, and they keep putting off buying one, they both like my iBook, but won't get one for themselves due to the price :o I thought I'd surprise them and buy them one for Christmas, I just need a hand finding what I'd need.
I don't particularly want to buy them a new one as I have very little money myself, so I thought I'd go for a G3 iBook or something, here is essentially what they'd be using it for, and what they'd need:
Transferring & viewing photos from DigiCam (USB 2.0)
Browsing the internet & e-mail (Airport)
Word Processing
Music storage (20GB+ HD)
Watching DVDs (Combo Drive)
Something thhat could run at least OS 10.3.9
Could someone give me some idea of a particular model and how much it would go for (on here or ebay).
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I know I'm bumping a slightly old post, but I'm in the exact same position as you! I really wanted to get Black to for gaming nostalgia, but I read online that they are planning on a 3D pokemon title, and that game won't work on the DSi. So, I think I've decided to just go and get a 3DS--
Nope. There have been no "official" rumours of a 3DS Pokemon game in the style of Black/White (and the other main series games). Of course the next one will be out on the 3DS. But there have been no rumours surfacing yet and it'll be at least 1 year until we see a new game, with the average being 3-4 years for a new title.
Of course there's always a kid on Youtube who says his uncle Jed works for Game Freak and knows all about the next game ;)

Ok, we are getting somewhere. When I press play after hitting capture now, the video starts playing. When I hit ESC to stop it, it does stop, but nothing happens. no dialog boxes asking me what to name it, and nothing appears in the browser.
The iMovie thing does work, but I'd rather do it "the right way." :)
Edit: I have got it working (thanks for all your help) but I still am doing it manually in the sense that it does not stop when there is a cut in the tape. I'd like to get each clip every time I started to record, and it is too hard to do manually. Should I just get out of this iMovie mindset or is it possible to do this?

Once was fine...but twice?
Um, no, I don't want to work with a pedantic fool like you every day, thanks.
I should mail him back and remind him to tuck his period inside the parentheses.
Not to be pedantic, just ignorant:
I understand that the punctuation marks go inside the quotes (um, not parentheses... maybe you do need him ;)) when part of a quotational reply. However, when used to mark a single word or phrase, it seems as though contemporary "correct" usage allows for the quoted word/phrase to be used as an indivisible object, meaning punctuation would go outside.
But, hey, I'm a programmer geek. I'm happy just to be able to communicate at all.

I believe your macbook uses ddr2 memory,whereas the newer MBP's use DDR3. There is difference in voltage requirements for those two standards. You can install it in the macbook, it just won't boot, but you won't damage anything.
Why are you trying to do this in the first place?
This page (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270#link5) says the Late 2008 15" MBP uses DDR3 memory. I will check for sure when I get home today by looking at "About this Mac." As I said in the original post, I am doing this because I am upgrading the RAM in the new MBP as soon as it's delivered, and upgrading the RAM in the old MBP should get me more $$$ when I sell it. Thanks for the help, everyone.
