I have to second much of the original posters opinions of the 12" PB and OSX. I also must give him a little bit of support here. Though, I don't agree with everything said. I boug…

Why buy it in Europe? – It's a lot more expensive than in the US e.g.: UK 20GB iPod: $377 (£ 209) US 20GB iPod: $299

Can I ask why you use Finder Copy (which seems to be a major source of your complaints)? Are you duplicating a file? Why not Command-D and avoid the paste step? Are you duplicat…
