Nice lappy Ally
the wife has an Apple, I use a Dell laptop
The size of the HD don't matter that much, I have a 60gb on this machine
She has 80>>> the other specs. are great. The HD don't matter that much beside speed, I'm sure you know that anyways
I Bought an External 500gb hard drive I share on the network, with an Airport Express
Wouldn't be without it  /tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

Allanon's is quite a nice laptop. Though isn't it meant to be that you wait for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 before you should have Vista as your OS
