Re: [MacBook] MacBook problem

  The last time I encountered similar problem was due to faulty system board and I scrapped the whole lappy, just too expensive to repair without valid AppleCare. Cheers IVOR ---- On Sep 16, 2011, at 7:58, Ron Dragotta <rondragotta@gmail.com>...

Re: [MacBook] MacBook problem

Re: [MacBook] MacAir recos

  Hai Ron, Why not consider 13.3 inch Macbook Air? The 11.6 will be wonderful, but its screen is much smaller than what your wife is used too. Her eyes might disagree with the change :-) yours, wk On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 2:47 AM, Ron Dragotta...

Re: [MacBook] MacBook problem
