Pages on my G4 ibook and even on my G5 dual 2ghz with a gig of ram is ridiculously slow - like molasses. If this spreadsheet program is this slow I will never use it.
I will give double emphasis on that!!
I tried to produce a nice document in pages for a set of astronomical objects in a viewing manual. It is roughly 55 pages long and includes 110 different figures.
It was an absolute nightmare to put together! I spent days locking, unlocking, moving, re-organizing, trying to get pages to do some of the simplest of tasks properly.
In the end, I have a nice looking document that takes literally 5 mins to open, 10 secs to scroll a page, and I am afraid to touch it, to edit it, as it might "explode" if I do.
I have a PB G4 17in. 1.67Ghz, 1 GB ram.
I really know that most of the people here are mac fanatics when they actually endorse "Pages". It is the slowest, worst, piece of cr*p Apple ever produced. I have the UB iWork 06 version now and it still sucks!
I like keynote but it still lags in presentation features behind powerpoint. It is also a problem to interact with the 99% of business users out there who use PP. I know that it exports to PP and I know it goes to pdf, QT, etc. But you have to actually perform these operations with an actual group of business users to realize the probelms it presents.
9 times out of 10, exporting to PP screws up everything but the most elemental of slide shows. QT exports don't quite look presentation quality, are dificult to interactivily control, and generate huge files that are difficult to email.Exporting to PDF, makes static slides, and is more for printing than for presentation. There is no free Keynote client for windows and mac users like there is for PP.
All in all, iwork , (still a cheap name), is not ready for primetime. It is OK to experiment with, play with, and to generate simple documents. But it is not any kind of a replacement for the professional who works in an integrated MS office environment.

Well, it looks like there will be alot of new features and devices soon from apple.
lets hope apple keeps up the good work, advancements in technology, software and hardware will continue making users lifes easier.
things like smart device/cell phones, itv media center hubs (also HDTV including Blu-Ray), continuing development of more software and making apple an all media type system where all aspects can work seamlessly.
looking forward to the new stuff apple comes with.

IWhat if they were all glossy? What a nightmare that would be.
I don't think you need to worry about that. Serious image editors would never use a glossy screen.

I have had two diesel cars, and quite a few petrol cars. I don't profess to know a huge amount about the mechanical reasons for these, but here are a few of my thoughts. In actual day-to-day driving it is possible to notice you are driving a diesel. While this is not positive, it is only a niggling negative, and should not be enough to put you off. They are considerably noisier at low speeds, and do certainly rumble under foot on the clutch. I have experienced this with both a Volvo C30, Audi A4 and a VW Passat courtesy car. The problem I found most of all was the slow acceleration - you must physically wait for the turbo-charger to kick in before the car moves quickly. It is a strange feeling, but certainly you can live with it.
Fuel cost I have found to be around the same in the UK. While there is a slightly higher MPG on the diesel cars I've driven, the extra cost of the fuel offsets this so they are fairly similar. Other maintenance costs seem to be around the same.
I think it is unlikely I will get another diesel for several reasons.

Try putting it into DFU mode and then connecting to iTunes. I had similar problems once.
Tiny Umbrella may also be of use, depending on where it gets stuck in the restore process. If it's right at the end (when the white bar on the screen is meant to make it all the way across the screen but somehow doesn't), try just using TU to kick the ipad out of restore mode.

I read on some US messageboard that school governors get educational discounts but haven't been able to find this info on the Apple site. I phoned AppleUK to check and they said yes, so I ordered over the phone. They did not ask me to provide any evidence. I'm not sure, if you are active in PTA this may count. BTW, I'm a primary school governor.

I expect the PC crowd to flock to this thread. If you don't think there is a demographic for that, you're not a marketer.
"The first notebook designed for women that aspire to be cheap prosititutes that marry well in the vein of Paris Hilton."
A huge demographic my friend. As loathsome as I thin k that woman is, there are million of young women who aspire to be just like her. As a marketer, I can't change this but I'd be remiss in my job if I wasn't targeting them.

I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but I think you're better off with an iMac or a mac mini with a nice IPS monitor. I understand that the mac pro is easier to expand, but if you plan on keeping it for 4 years you could buy a new mac mini every year and still come out the same.
Better to spend money on upgraded lenses and external backups.

If that external backup on your '09 was created using Time Machine, it will simply move everything to the new computer...apps and all...without you needing to think twice about it. In fact on starting up the new iMac, you will be asked if you want to migrate data from another computer or source and a Time Machine backup is one of the options.
If you backup was created through other means, TM may not be able to copy everything over and you may have to install some apps from disc.
(You didn't specifically say if the previous backup of the '09 was done with TM. I assume, but just want to be sure. )
awesome! Yeah I have always used Time Machine and have updates done every few days for over the past year and half. That would be amazing if its an easy transfer. I've never used Time Machine other than backing up, but it reads to me like it should be a no hassle way to update my new computer to what I'm using now with the old one.

The 150 is a big battery. It'll work great with your MBP.

Looking at buying my first mac and looking at a mini. I listen to a lot of music on high quality speakers attached to my pc, so I'm wondering if there's a sound quality difference between the MBP, the iMac and the Mac Mini.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe the file itself is corrupted? I had a similar problem (although I have no need to preserve my BB). After repeated times, I deleted the files and d/l'ed them again and it worked.
Not sure if this is the solution but it's worth a try.

I have a Sony handheld cam that has 5.1 built in sound recording, and although its nothing revolutionary it does sound nice and pick up sounds quite good. The mics for rear channels are on the back, the front are on the front.

thanks all. I'm aware of the apple refurbs (my mini and macbook are refurbs. its a great way to save some cash!)
Thanks for the advice all. iLife is definitely required so I think he will just go for a standard version
thanks again
I don't think it's worth it. If you're going to raid1 the drives in the server you'll only be getting 500gb of usable space (- the space used for applications and OS-X). For the $200 saved over the server edition you'd be well on your way to a Drobo style storage solution, or even cheaper, the OWC Mercury Elite dual enclosure which you could use for Raid1 storage anyway.
Unless you have to have OS-X server - save your shekels.
