The SSD drives in the Optical drive port and the main 750GB (7200rpm is better though) work well. Done a few for a clients and they whizz along! (Fairly easy to install too,..even for me,..lol)
March 2 they think is the next event I see on the rumour sites,..iPad 2 probably (possibly?) And yes,..Lion just to top it all off! Or is that scare away all the other "beasts",.... Windows 8? Should we take bets on 2012,..or 2013,..? ;O) 10.0 was the best Stuart! I think you must have missed all the fun!! Lol,...ok,..I jest. Developer WWDC isn't that far away really,..so yeh,..should see some more for Lion then I would think. But like you say,..sounds like some cool new features (heaps by the read perhaps),..so nice new hardware and super fast ThunderBolt to run everything through!! :o) Should be another interesting Apple year. Time to buy some more Apple shares now? (Hmmm maybe I should have bought some before,..lol. Does 1 share count?) And not enough Red Bulls or Coffee Stuart,..I can tell from your email :oP hehehe :o) Kind Regards Daniel On 24/2/11 10:13 PM, "Stuart Evans" <stuart.ev...@t4.com.au> wrote: > > Store is still down but the specs are up.
