Gary,
Thank you for your time and detailed response! I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your MacBook. If you or anyone else replies again, i believe the macbook i am looking at has 1 gig of ram, while the toshiba i bought has 2. how will this difference affect me (i am quite ignorant of computer techie stuff...)?
