I know that you get the osx install on a flash drive, but I have a question about that. Is it able to have other files put on it or is it a read only flash drive? Oh and congrats on the air I have heard that it is very nice. Might be in the market in a year or so to retire my macbook. Of course around my house retirement does not mean destruction or put to the curb. I still have and use many older apple products. Apple IIE, Macintosh Classic, Mac 7100/80av, Beige G3 Tower, 867 Quicksilver, 3rd Generation Ipod, 1st Gen Ipod Touch, Apple newton Mp 120, and Apple Newton MP 2000 with 2001 upgrade. And my main machines are my macbook and my 4th Generation Ipod Touch. I have had to downsize over the years so heres to all the fallen heros that had to go: 6100/60av, LCIII, Powerbook 170, Macintosh IIFX, Centris 650, Powerbook G3 Wallstreet, Workgroup Server 9150, and Powermac 9500. I have always considered apple design as brilliant. I have not always cared for their marketing and such.
