It's OK, Thomas, I always intended to get the smallest one. I have
just sold my white MacBook, having changed the top case after it
cracked, and bought the smallest MacBook Pro.
It is a beautiful little thing, but my hard drive is giving it
problems. I removed the 250Gb that came with it and installed the
500Gb that I had in the old one. The result is a strange startup
behaviour, with Winders-like scrolling information before it gets to
the normal login screen ...
By the way, the 13" MBPro is small enough for you to save your money
on the Air, I should have said.
