I'm dying to know how fast Rosetta-using apps run in comparison to my trusty PowerBook G4 15" 1,5 GHz. Especially the performance of Photoshop Elements would be very interesting along with M$ Office. @lern: Don't they also say "the police are here" in the US? I am not a native speaker, though, and have never been to the US ... ;) How about a Geek Gab Special as soon as the Macbook arrives.

One wonders what else the Brits have done to mess up the English language...

It seems like every english class no-show that leaves a comment on any Mac related website makes this mistake. "Apple are having" ---- Sheesh! IT'S "APPLE IS HAVING".

These kinds of edits from both ends (due to the free CPU upgrade) and the sheer volume of back orders (ie. databases not being able to check them off as en route) are not what the original back end was designed for and aparently it hasn't been upgraded in years... Perhaps it's time for an upgrade themselves? It would seem that Apple are having all kinds of issues with their (reportedly) ancient web based ordering infrastructure.
