Microsoft did indeed save Apple a while ago, yes.. so they have shares.

iPhone, £45, 1200 mins, 500 text and unlimited data and Wifi through BT OpenZone and The Cloud.
And upgrade is going to be after 18 months... (18 month contract), unless Apple release a new iPhone and they're feeling generous - with the 3G release, they let anyone with the original iPhone...
Good to know for new connections.
Sky Broadband is very good as well.. :)
(Sky own Easynet.. and Easynet are very very good for end user business connections)
You can get the serial number to check warranty.
There's lots of things to check - is it a White one? They can get quite discoloured.
Normal things to check - damage, scratches, dead pixels, etc.
I don't, cus' it's not in my area.. I would though if I could.
£22 a month for Be. £11 for a BT line I think it.
Well well worth it if you can get it.
I can only get normal ADSL Max on my exchange, so can't go to Be.
Just change the PSU and see.
When PSUs go bang, you can usually just replace them.. depends why it went bang I guess.
I've had about 3 PSUs go bang in this machine and just replace them every time.. and at work, we've had loads, heh.. very rare they take the mobo out in my experience.
That's not USB powered.
USB powered drives are usually 2.5" drives too, due to the power draw, so you're limited to about 320GB at the moment on those at the moment.
Internet via a BT line is going to be better.
Get a BT line, and then chose an ADSL/ADSL2+ provider.. depending where you are, there are better ones than other.
If you can get Be (www.bethere.co.uk), the go with them.. otherwise, if you can't get Be in your area, there are loads of others which...
The larger capacity drives are fine.. nothing wrong with a 1TB disk at all.
The MTBF is the same as the lower capacity disks anyway.
The *only* thing, is that it the drive fails, you potentially lose more data.. but that's just common sense, Heh.
The main thing to look out on the "USB...
The cost isn't that bad to be honest in comparison to others.
It's expensive in that it's still 1300quid for the laptop spec I'd want, but, if I wanted a Dell, it wouldn't be cheaper/much cheaper.
The main difference is Apple don't sell a low spec laptop.. everyone else does.. therefore you...
Power supply isn't an issue - Apple use universal power supplies, and you just change the plug.
The main thing which would annoy me is the £ key.. it wouldn't be printed on the 3 (you'd have a # instead) which would be really annoying.. depends if having £ printed over 3 is worth the extra...
