The airport security people are *NOT* amused. It's "Mac" -- short for "Macintosh" -- not MAC, which is a networking acronym. We know what you mean, because we're a Mac list, but out in the wide world non-Mac users could be confused. If your friends have such intense computing needs, why on earth did they purchase MacBooks? MacBook Pros would have been better suited to their needs -- larger hard disks, more RAM, dedicated video RAM, etc. ~Linda
