No one wants to take any responsibility for anything. Best system in the
world, capitalist economies, pity about some of its ugly sides. There
will be some changes when I am ruler of the world.

I have been busy today downloading betas (Chrome) and pre-betas (Opera)
and anything else new and shiny. I better go download some WebKit
nightly builds. More new software! I don't want anything on my computer
that is older than a half hour. Old software should go off and die.

Too late. I was so impressed by shiny new Apple stuff glistening in the
Apple Store that I bought two of them. If the iMac had a matte display,
I would have bought that too!

One should be aware that iPhone SDK includes all of Xcode, thus
accounting for the inflated size.

It's a Mac Book Pro. 2.33 GHz, Dual Core Intel. Does that matter?

Not enough information. What model exactly, year etc. Yes, its crucial.
See thread. Perhaps you are missing David E's excellent posts? Mine is
(presumably - it is still to arrive) the latest Macbook (not the Pro).

I *assume* that if you are using CS3 OK it will work on mine but who
knows? The information I am getting on this from this Usenet group does
not fill me with confidence that any software more than 2 seconds old
will work on any Apple product that is less than 1 second old. <g>
