Another point worth noting is if you do decide on the Macbook air, it's worth it to buy an external numpad as having a nunmpad makes things a bit easier. Kimber -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com]On Behalf Of carolyn Haas Sent:

Hi Carolyn: I just went to audible.com, and didn't get any music whatsoever. I was using Webkit, if that makes any difference. I will look for a phone number for you though and get back soon. Maybe it's got something to do with extensions we do or do not have? Just a wild guess. :) On May

My Macbook Pro only gets hot when I run Windows in VMware Fusion while I am also charging it. Once it gets so hot, speech does tend to stutter. I have 8 gigs of ram and my unit is a late 2009 Macbook Pro 13 inch. If I just run OSX, my MPB stays as cool as can be. On May 23, 2011, at 9:47 PM,
