1. I got mine last week

:woohoo:

I got the white one though, black finish was a little out of my price range.

I love it! :D I'm so happy I did this. You're gonna really love it!

3. I wanted the white one, because

It was about $330 dollars less, but they were out...Limited time, limited amount special through my school...Still, I paid $170 less than retail, so I'm happy :)

Congrats to you! :toast:

5. Welcome!

I have the "lesser" non-Superdrive Macbook, myself. :D

6. Know anything about routers?

I need to pick one up tonight...I have a Comcast cable modem...Don't know what kind to get...

[GoneOffShore]

12. Get the Airport

It's way easy to configure.

You might even find one on eBay though you'd have to wait.

13. I have a Verizon cable modem.

Works for me.

EDIT: You asked about a router. I actually don't know what that is. :blush:

7. Nice!

I'm saving up for one of the fancy (high-priced x() MacBook Pros (after I get my iPod...hopefully tonight :woohoo:). It's going be a couple of months. :P

:toast:

8. Question for you...

I need to get a router for it, and I have a Comcast cable modem...Any ideas?

[Omphaloskepsis]

9. Do you want a wired or wireless router?

I have always had good luck with D-Link routers.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Wireless

I have an HP desktop hooked up to the cable modem, but I want to make sure I get the right one..

[ZombieNixon]

14. Well, there's the obvious Apple choice,

which looks cool and is easy to use, but also expensive. You could also get a generic linksys 802.11g router, which are really just as reliable in my experience, and dirt cheap. 802.11g is the important thing, as they work best with Macs. I've never used a D-Link router as Omphaloskepsis mentioned, but they're probably worth checking out, as well. :)

15. Thank You!!

Sweet! :D

[ZombieNixon]

16. Apples are usually very good with wireless.

They'll work with just about anything. :D

[bicentennial_baby]

17. I just hope the setup isn't awful...

I'm skeered about that... :o

[ZombieNixon]

18. It shouldn't be.

I had an easy enough time setting mine up. :)

10. Sweet!

I hope to upgrade my G4 to one of those sometime soon.
