Apple wants $1,000 for 2GB RAM The hell if I'm buying it there. LOL
As for .mac, I'm still getting used the MBP itself and it does run Windows better than a PC.
I picked up a DVi-HDMI cable and connected it to my TV, is there a setting to be able to close it while its connected to the TV? I have the wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse. Surprisingly, the cable was on $20 at the Apple store (2m cable). It was cheaper than I expected. However, the real deal maker was the 4% I got off.
The learning curve isn't too bad so far, I have Office installed (btw....the student/teacher edition is IDENTICAL to the standard edition, less than half the price and gives you 3 installs.)
QS.....I do have a backup drive, didnt have carbon copy cloner, so I used Time Machine so I have at least some sort of backup. I have to get the old laptop up again to transfer over my documents and stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.

That's a great question, if it does not void the computer warranty, I will also buy third party ram. Does anyone know?


A somewhat related question is how is the initial 2G ram installed on the Work Book. Do you have a empty slot or do you need to through away the existing memory?

If you buy a copy of office 2004 for mac (any version or standard upgrade) before 1/14/08, Microsoft is offering a free upgrade to office 2008 super media edition (just pay the $7 for shipping).

Anybody got suggestions for accessories, software, or anything? Thanks.
smart man, that is what I have.

So yes, keep your old memory and NO, it does NOT void your warranty


(and FYI, it was reccommended to me by APPLE (or 6 different people who work for them) to buy from crucial. )
Let me clarify:
"Adding memory (DRAM, VRAM) or other user-installable upgrade or expansion products to an Apple computer is not considered a modification to that Apple product. Therefore, it is not necessary to obtain Apple's written permission to upgrade or expand an Apple computer. While Apple strongly recommends that you retain the services of an Apple Authorized Service Provider to perform any product upgrades or expansions, you will not void your Apple warranty if you choose to upgrade or expand your computer yourself. However, if in the course of adding an upgrade or expansion product to your computer, you damage your Apple computer (either through the installation of, or incompatibility of the upgrade or expansion product), Apple's warranty will not cover the cost of repair, or future related repairs."

fixed your post

What applecare explained to me: if your memory goes, not their problem (install your old stuff, send upgrade back). If you bend the pins installing it, however, you're toasted (so send it to the apple tech to install this)
