it's a hedious name... the macbook pro (they really ought to come up with something better... tsk tsk!)
and it costs a bomb... particularly when i'd like to have the max. of the available specifications... so i have to save up another us$1500... before i can get the academic price version... it should be worth it though (i hope)... yeeehaar... the smaller version has a dual-layer dvd writer, finally!!! and up to 200GB for harddisk space capacity... YES!!! now i just have to keep my fingers crossed that MATLAB will be quick enough at developing their softwares for the new IntelMacs... i wonder if i can run wretched SPSS on it too... i wonder if bootcamp will work... hmmmmmm. (how i hate the fact that computers and operating systems don't speak the same language!)
