Why not - perhaps a potential hack of these two recent conquests might be in order! The best thing about the Macbook though is the LCD, regardless of cracking in the plastic surround, it looks bright and flawless.
Wife is quite happy to receive this Macbook. Her iMac is the 20", last 2.1Ghz model with a new 1TB drive (I ripped it from my NAS project, looks like I'll be getting it back!) and 2GB RAM - and it's just getting too slow for basic web browsing, MS Office, iPhoto, even scanning. Mind you, I did install all the "latest" PPC apps I could find for it (eg. Office 2008, Photoshop CS2, iLife 08), but it's just disappointing to use. I could scale back the apps by finding older versions but this takes time. On paper this should be a gold machine, but the poor optimisation of PPC apps is showing for her needs.
