Hi there Fonzie, it's nice to hear from you. Thanks for your message. I'm still debating about getting one. I would like one, but I can get one for £650 and get insurance and tuition there and this is brand new from the mac shop. The hard drive is 120. I was offered a second hand one for £625 including shipping, but I'm not sure if it's worth my money. The reason I can get the new one for such a low price is I can get student discount. The one that I'm being offered second hand has a 160 hard drive. So, I'm finding it difficult to come to a decision. take care Andrea and Zeta! xxx Vale touched the hearts of everyone she met. She will live on forever! Check out her fundraising page! Please visit: www.justgiving.com/valiestar
