I was not impressed by what I say, construction-wise. I would categorize it as
Euro-trash knockdown furniture.
Granted, some of the designs were interesting, but the problem I see is the
inability to integrate it into a household with any other style of furniture.

Went to my first IKEA store today. Been passing the place in Tampa regularly
in my travels, and in an effort to get out of the apartpit, I talked the wife
into going and checking it out.
Suffice to say it was interesting.
The one overwhelming impression I had was that there must be a heck of a

eBay this weekend. I can recall when I originally got them as freebies from
the DoD that they had marginal value.

bought my 15" CD MBP - the catch was moving up to the "new" Intel processor.
This effectively extended the life of this machine well into the future over

I'm going on seven on my 15" CD MacBook Pro. Rather than buy a new laptop in
