Hi Mateja:

Just when we were ready to purchase two more 15" PowerBooks, I see  
they are discontinued and replaced by the MacBook Pro. My concern is  
that the standard graphic arts apps, such as all the Adobe products,  
need an interpolating language (Rosetta?) to run on the new machines.  
MIT isn't supporting the MacBooks yet, and we've been warned that the  
Adobe products run slower than on the Power PC-type Apple laptops.

Any chance our office can get a demo model of the MacBook Pro to see  
if we really want to get involved in yet another newer unfamiliar  
operating system environment? Does anyone know where we can purchase  
new 15" PowerBooks?
