Apple would like to have us believe the 17" is already updated,
yet I hear some claim it has not had a major update
in 8 months.

Interesting tidbit from Apple, they claim that a 512 GB
"solid ram drive" is available as an option, for a mere
$1,300 - - - last I heard was that solid-disk ram
capacities were only about 128 GB.

Um, are you using "claim" to suggest that you don't believe them?

Oh, that explains it. You're somewhat behind in your reading. The New
Orleans Saints defending NFL champions and Barak Obama is President of
the United States.

Yep, I definitely did not want to believe the $1,300 part.

Besides, those solid-state drives have a nasty short-life
expectency, when it comes to the number of write cycles
before failure.

They are quiet, though, and much less subject to being
damaged by heat from extensive hard use.

Too bad about the limited write cycles before failure,
that is why I would never buy one at the present time.

I see Mark is ever entertaining. : D

I'm glad I don't read his insane ramblings anymore, except for the
occasional quoted funny snippet.
