Rolled in there a few times back when I was in high school at ARGS in Petersburg. Couldn't help but notice the TiBook, too. Doesn't the Macbook Air remind you of it? Heh, I remember Capitol Mac!

Mostly the advertising. 1" thick, 5.3 pounds, 5 hour battery... back then that was like... wow. I carried that puppy with me everyday to class and i will tell you 5.3 pounds feels pretty darn heavy after a while... and that would be why the MacBook Air impresses me so. <a href="http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/newads13/01TiBook.jpg" title="Ti Book" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Check out an old school ti book Ad that i found</a> Ken

That's the same picture they had on the box (which I still proudly display). Though, the main thing about the Air that reminds me of the Ti is the use of the black keys on silver (in this case aluminum instead of titanium) casing. Not to mention, the fold out ports on the side of the Air remind me of the door enclosed ports on the back of the Ti. Good times! @Samantha

We're talking 2001 there. Kar-Tar and I were running the floor, Jim was on-site all the time, and Joe Butler still owned the whole shebang. I think the irony here is that while that was my first mac job, since that job, I havent worked for anyone but Apple Specialists. I still say that it beats working!
