[Hidden-tech] Questions about MacBooks

[Tom / Reelife Productions]

Deb,
the macbook is totally awesome.  i's like the rolls royce' of laptops..well,
maybe the porsche (the macbook pro is the rolls royce).   I've used an
associate's a lot and it really is the "bee's knees".  It'll do everything
you mentioned with ease and is one beautiful little machine.  I'm not sure
about the cs3 issue but a call to apple would straighten that out...or check
out apple discussion boards...
