Jill and I have been pretty busy with other things, but I wanted to stop in an update you on some of the things that have been going on. Firstly, I have taken a step back from looking at the MacBooks. I still want one, but I am trying to be a good steward of my resources so I am taking my time. However, as I continue my research I have found some interesting resources. Here they are in case you are following along with me.

Here is a fun video showing parallels Desktop 3.0 running Windows XP on the Mac

Here is an interesting site on Apple Defects and how they are being addressed. The information seems level headed and informative.

Here is a look at how to disassemble a MacBook. It is interesting and gives a good idea of what it would take to do home repairs if push came to shove.

Here is a place to get 2GB memory upgrade kits for the MacBook. I am interested in the White MacBook but it only comes with 1GB and I would like to have 2GB without paying more than I have to for someone else to install it, so this is a good find for me. Do note that I haven’t actually bought from these guys so check em out before you hand over your money.
