I think that makes it sound a bit worse than it really is, but yes, Apple generally lags one minor version behind on the JDK and JRE (they can go ahead and drop the 1. or 2. if they like, but it's still a minor version change): From http://developer.apple.com/java/: Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5 delivers improved reliability and compatibility for Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 and Java 1.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 and later. This release updates J2SE 5.0 to version 1.5.0_07 and Java 1.4 to version 1.4.2_12. It also improves SWT compatibility for J2SE 5.0. (Java SE 1.6 is current. And yes, it sure would be nice if they didn't feel the need to change the *name* of the damn thing with every minor version change too. http://java.sun.com/javase/namechange.html is enough to make one want to fly to Santa Clara and punch someone in the face.)

Replacement parts for Apple products are expensive like parts for German cars are. It's cheap for the piece of mind.

It's none of these: http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBook_Pro_Mid_2007.html http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBook_Pro_Late_2006.html http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBook_Pro_15-inch_Glossy.html http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBook_Pro_17-inch.html http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBook_Pro.html I'm pretty sure that's all of them...? (The only laptop running Mac OS X natively I've seen with more than 2 GB of memory didn't come from Apple... and that's not exactly for the casual user.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
