Marc might not be able to resist the new, rumored iMac - I'm wondering if anyone else has heard any new rumors about a subnotebook? A few weeks back Kathy read something about a subnotebook due out by the end of the year...I'm afraid resistance would be futile for me
Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. (If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much room.)
I was hoping for something smaller than 13" - but there was one comment that indicated that the 13" could be formatted in a more "wide-screen" fashion, and I'd welcome that.
If it's not a tablet Kathy will be bummed, but for me this sounds great...
Now of course the next step (let's go ahead and get ahead of ourselves ), is to figure out how to keep two Macs comfortably "synched" - in other words how to keep emails synched as you go back and forth between machines...

Hmmm... Me too.
I have a gmail account, but I really don't like it, so I avoid using it. Doesn't .mac provide web-based mail that emulates the Mail.app? Maybe that would be okay.

I've had yahoo mail for many years now. Initially it was "just a web mail" account, but has evolved to be the one I use the most. It's been reliable. I don't really like the new ajaxified version they're pushing, but so far I've been able to stay with their "classic" version.
Gmail doesn't do it for me either.
Some ISPs offer IMAP or web-based email too. I use Thunderbird with IMAP for an ISP account too.

I have three Macs and .Mac keeps them all in sync. Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and the iDisk are all automatically synchronised.
There are some bugs in the .Mac integration with Leopard at the moment but generally it is very good since they upgraded the standard storage to 10GB

...and will be unveiled in January at a price of $1,500. (Ref: Apple Insider.)
Note: Still conflicting reports on whether the display will be 12" or 13.3". [ December 07, 2007: Message edited by: marc weber ]
Mac maker Apple Inc., which later this month will unveil its first sub-notebook design in over a decade, is likely to offer an external optical drive as an optional accessory, according to a new report.
