Anybody in the market for an older Mac laptop, probably 2.5 years old? It's one of the white Macbooks with the non-replaceable battery that they offered for a brief period before switching over to all-Aluminum, RAM upgraded to 4 GB. Office and dual-boot Windows 7 are currently installed. It works perfectly, including working as a decent-if-not-amazing gaming laptop under Windows, but now that my wife and I both have Windows laptops from school we really don't BOTH need Mac laptops at home. And hers is nicer.
I'm hoping to get $450 for it. Selling to a buffista would be cool. Anybody interested? I won't be able to put it in the mail for a week or so, as I need to make sure I've backed everything up, and clean it up.
ETA: I THINK it still has at least a few months of AppleCare on it, too. I need to check the serial number to be sure, and it's at school, but if that's an incentive I can check easily on Monday.
Gris, depending on it's other specs, Andi and I might want to buy it.
What size of screen is it?
Actually, when you see it Monday, the model number might let us look it up on everymac.com

Currently it is on sale at OfficeMax for 20% off through saturday. If you want one and there is an OfficeMax in your area that is cheaper than the Newegg price even if you get free shipping. I've had it up about five minutes and am happy so far. Will let you know if I end up not being happy.
So this is the PHP code I have. It currently outputs a list of posts in all categories, sorted alphabetically. What I'm trying to do is remove the parent categories, so I only get the child categories shown on the page. Anyone know how to tweak this?
I know it's all in that one line towards the top, but I can't figure it out.
Edit: Crap, now I have to remember how to post code without it being eaten.
I guess I will do the cheat of parentheses where there would be pointy brackets.
(?php $categories = get_categories("child_of=$category"); foreach ($categories as $cat) { ?)
(div class="genre_subcat")
(?php query_posts("cat=$cat-)cat_ID&showposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=name"); ?)
Silly question. If you have a MacBook air, and you are a guest where they only have wired connection, no wi-fi, what do you do? It doesn't have ethernet port.
are they any good? I'd think the USB would slow it down a bit.
USB 2.0 is quite a bit faster than even gigabit Ethernet. I also travel with an Airport Express.
yeah, the adapter is slower than Ethernet on a macbook pro, but pretty good.
Is there a mac in the place? You alternatively could plug another mac into the connection and create a wifi network.
I travel (when I go to hotels) with an airport express so that I create my own network in hotel rooms. I find that usually is a bit faster and less annoying than hooking up my devices individually to the wifi (if there is one available in hotels).
