Going to get the 3 GB RAM Kit after a while.

It does really well with the 1 GB though. smile.gif

What is the "unusual Keyboard" that lowendmac mentions?

Hey Kelly, good seeing ya!

I'll probably have a few questions going forward. I'm thinking of making one a gift after the Leopard is out of her cage.

In low light I can see the keys on my White iBook OK, I was a little concerned about the black keys in low light.

I was also concerned about heat, how much and where is it concentrated?

Do you use WiFi, and is it a good receiver?

Last but not least…..is there any truth in MacBooks being placed in aluminum shells in the near future?

OK... shows you what I know! I thought they were painted aluminum. doh.gif

You know... this is a little off topic here, but because they mention Apple's recent move to "aluminumize" everything lately in the linky you left... they bring up the new iPod. Which I have the 160GB model (silver) and I quite like the anodized aluminum... only one gripe, they left the back of the thing in shiny polished stainless steel which scratches easily and looks awful when it's smack full grubby fingerprints... given a choice I'd rather they treated it like they did the back of the iPhone or used the same anodized aluminum for the back. Makes sense to me... dntknw.gif

Enjoy the Book, kelly!  If Leopard comes out within two weeks you might get a free upgrade.  smile.gif
