Stats:
2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
MacBook Pro 17-inch Hi-Res WS
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2×1GB
250GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x DL

Price: about $3000 including AppleCare. Add $120 for 4Gb of RAM from NewEgg, and $45 for the iTopper skin. I’m going to be adding Parallels and a copy of XP one of these days.

“Bob” is a good start. How ’bout “Bob’s Your Uncle”?
How ’bout publishing some specs and maybe a general price range if I’m not too brazen for asking. Thanx.

Wow, you’re really into exciting names.

My TiBook was bertie (since I was running its Wallstreet predecessor as a server, “jeeves”). My AlBook (17″, natch) was named Albertus Magnus, nicknamed “Big Al”. My MacBook Pro is Sybil, since she has had OS X, WinXP, Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 in her head at various times. And yes, the various instances were named after various personalities.

How about Oscar, since you’ll be on the Big Screen?
