Depends on the chicks, I guess. Those who spell it that way are quite probably not the women _I_ intend to date. :P

If we're talking cats: Of course: Black above all other cats. I had one cat in my life, and it was black. But we're talking about computers, not cats.

The one thing that does annoy me about the new MacBooks is that they don't have a firewire connection, even though most of the stuff nowadays is USB. Most of my stuff is still firewire, such as external hard drives and cameras, and I don't feel like spending money to upgrade something that doesn't need an upgrade.

Kernos is on a distinguished road
My 17" MBP is the computer I use the most (seems like 24/7). I only use my Mac Pros and various Power Macs for doing video and other CPU and IO intensive things.

That said, I would really like a portable workstation which can encode a 2 hour video in a couple of hours, while I am doing something else without delays and would like increased screen real estate.

I dont care how much it weighs or how thick it is or how loud the fans are. I want to be able to shut it up and take it anywhere.

Bill

PS: I don't care what t looks like either, as long as it has an apple on the cover and doesnt dent when dropped.

So... it's a simile of a metaphor?

That hurts my brain.

Actually, I think an aluminum cat would be pretty interesting.
