What you probably cannot tell, from the List name, is that there are many former Ti-book users, who now have newer laptops, who are (still) on this list. The List unofficially became a Mac professional laptop users list. My 2001 Ti-book was unfortunately stolen in August 2003, so then I bought the new aluminium G4 Powerbook, and when that reached 5y old, I got a MacBook Pro (NOV08). regards, Trevor
