The last thing I will say on this as its getting a little stale. I  
subscribe to a number of computer mags. I just got done reading a  
blog entry from a *HIGHLY* respected person. I did not see the  
original posting over the weekend but the post that is interesting is  
that there are two airworks killer computers that have come out in  
the last few days. At least one of the two says it is thinner and  
faster than airwork. But the downside was that (IIRC) maxed out with  
3 (three) memory slots or 2G max (if I understood it correctly) This  
also did not have a optical drive. Another one I did not get to read  
the specs on other than it was a lot faster and had optical.. So  
other companies seem to agree with Apple that the need is there. I  
wish everyone good luck, as the saying goes lets the games begin.
