Have you looked at the $700 trade in they are doing on old PB's at the moment? I believe that your model qualifies. However you have to upgrade to a 15" or 17" machine.

Call me irrational, but I hate buying anything that has buttons/features that are "sorry, not functional on the Macintosh." It engenders too much resentment. That's why I have to t…
