Am I to believe that the new MacBook Pro keyboard is not a good one? I don't need a numpad; I feel I can get along without one. I had no idea we had mouse keys. By the way, I have a question. Would Apple allow me to trade in my current MacBook for a MacBook Pro and allow me to just pay the price difference? I have discovered that I may need a bigger hard drive and I don't want to use the one I hvae now because it has stuff on it I still want. Plus, I like the apparent thinness of the new Pro. It would work great for when I need to carry it, better than the one I have, I think. I haven't seen one, but I know I'd like it. Plus, it has more connectivity optios, which I care about.
