They are rumored to be coming out within the next month or two.

I'm sure this would be as a result of the "back to school" sales that go on around here.

I'm sure you will be able to pick one up. :)

Hello Marc,

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that. There might be a way to hack a MacBook to use dedicated graphics, but it probably isn't worth it.

It is disappointing. I can't do much video editing or hardcore photo editing like I was planning on doing.

The new MacBooks will supposedly have dedicated graphics. Looks like I purchased a few months too early. :(

Sorry.

Sounds good! I will upgrade soon.

You definitely want to hold off for a month or two until the new MacBook and MacBook Pros are released. They are supposed to be a very big improvement.

I've considered selling my laptop so I could upgrade to these new laptops, but I will see.

Anyways, thank you for commenting!

I share the same opinion as you. A dashboard would be very nice. I'd
also like to see more statistics that could show you who is interested
in your content with more details and such. (Which items generated the
most comments, what type of content is most effective, etc.)

Thanks for commenting!

I hear you Shey. I've been utilizing the web interface a lot more as of late. Problems with the Twhirl client have been somewhat aggravating.

Thanks for commenting.

I feel your pain. Isn't it amazing how companies make such great progressions, and yet they seem to fall flat when it comes to simple things like this? Ah, the irony!

I'm really considering purchasing this. It is just way too tempting.

I was more in admiration of your dancing skills than anything, Leo!

It just astounds me how far we have come since then. Perhaps, within the next ten or so years, we will be looking back at the UGM you are putting together now and thinkng that the difference is just beyond outrageous.

128 MB of RAM today is, well, pretty bad, but it can still power some Linux distros. I believe that system had 10 - 20 GB, and I managed to run my Windows computer for a few months with that much a few years ago. (Nowadays, I have about 140 GB of data—minimum—that I bring onto each new system I build.)

The technical achievements are astounding, but I think it is even more impressive how so many people nowadays can geek out with this technology. I love the fact that my friends (and not just me) are beginning to be real tech savvy. (I was always the technology geek back in school.)

It was really cool to see that video though. Brought back great memories. I only began watching TSS when Megan and Patrick were on.
