Crazy time deciding on a Macbook!

[drlunanerd]

What does everyone think of my updated list.
Black Macbook £875.74
Lexar JumpDrive 1GB £25.02
Microsoft Optical Basic Mouse (RF) £12.70
Dicota Pep.Up bag £27.37
Canon MP150 printer, scanner, copier £35.28
1GB RAM Stick £54.31
512MB RAM Stick £FREE (is spare)
Panasonic Freeview Box £39.99
Full screen iPod (when available) £?????

In total, it is £1070.41. Is there anything else that you guys think that i need???

More to the point, what does your dad think of it? He's ponying up the hard-earned

Only teasing kid. I'd get a Miglia TVmini or suchlike with EyeTV for Freeview - it rocks.

Steer clear of wireless mice unless you need it for presentations. They're a hassle.

I personally like the wireless mice.

I was looking at the TV mini but can you plug a roof aerial into it?? I have one in my room, but i don't think that i would get good signal otherwise.

On the other point, it is not my dad who is paying for it. He is buying it because he is VAT registered and it is 17.5% cheaper but i am paying him back for all of it.

Is an RF or BT mouse better???

Yes you can. The mini aerial is surprisingly good - I use it, but it depends on signal strength where you are - YMMV. You're getting PVR functionality with the EyeTV software, which is way better than a cheapo Freeview box on its own.

The software is everything when it comes to PVRs. For example, you can
remotely program the EyeTV to record something if you forget, via the Net. Now that's cool.
