It's very different... It appears to be very nicely made... It seems to come with way to much crap just like a windows machine but I'm still just playing with it...

I'm trying to get through to Nikon because this site says it is still not supporting 10.5.1

"D2X/D2HS/D2XS support wireless LAN when used with the WT-2.
Windows Vista support currently not available Intel Mac: only Mac OS 10.4.9 supported "

yet this site says it has been added...

What "crap" are you talking about? iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, etc. are all full-featured, not some stupid trial-ware. The only thing that might be a trial is MS Office.

thanks for constructive comments...

The whole taskbar...that is what I call it... only because that is what windows calls it... is full of icons ... that are useless to me...as I said just like the newer Microshaft operating systems...

Once you start to use them and explore their capabilities they become quite meaningful.

Well, of course these opinions are coming from Macs user, so they are a bit biased...

Hi Buck52!

Check this out: Customize the Dock.

if you're going to buy a macbook air, make sure you purchase a warranty that covers accidental damage from the retail store that you buy it from and make sure that the warranty is covered in europe. bestbuy has an international number that will reimburse the cost of repairs or the worth of the laptop for their international customers..

and if someone is going to reply to this and say something mean about bestbuy or other retail stores and their optional warranties, please dont. optional warranties are a waste of money for techs who can do most of the repair work themselves and its usually techs who arrogantly insult such warranties and display napoleon dynamite characteristics while insulting the said warranties. if you're not a tech, lots of accidents and mishaps can happen to your laptop, especially if it is extra think and extra light weight.

sounds like you're a warranty salesperson...

I'm not a tech and I didn't buy any optional warranty... I guess shame on me...

actually, im brown and brown people are usually very stubborn about buying the warranties. my dad is off the boat brown and never bought a warranty until a TV he purchased crapped out in just a little over a year

if i buy a warranty on a macbook pro and plan my "accidents" appropriately, i can get a new macbook pro every 2 - 3 years and ONLY have to pay the price of a new warranty.

Presumably if I visit an Apple store (believe it we've just started to get them here in the UK now!) and ask for a european warranty, we should be ok?

Also voltage wise, we are 240v here in the UK, so again I think we're ok. We can save £400 by buying whilst on holiday, so that's one return flight!

Yes, and in 2 - 3 years, your MacBook Pro will be outdated, and no, they won't give you a new model.

Warranties are almost never worth the money. There's always a few people who end up spilling coffee, dropping it, or whatever, but that rarely happens to a person who takes good care of their laptop.

And with most warranties, 99.9% of the time they give you refurbished/old equipment, not new stuff. Read the fine print.
