I went and looked at them today, I can get the 13" Macbook for $950 (student discount of $50, I thought it was going to be a little bit bigger discount...) at the store, anywhere I could buy it cheaper? Best buy is $999 I'm going to email the technology office at A&M right now and see if they have discounts on hardware.
They had this program in there called Finale Print Music. It looks sick, definitely picking that up too. You can write music, guitar tabs, transpose, tons of stuff. What are some other programs to get? iWork 2009? I'm not familiar with what comes equipped on Macs and what is extra.
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
