Concerning Macs on airplanes.... (or any other portable) some airports are beginning to want to see that your computer works before they allow you thru security. I guess the premise is 'If the thing works, there can't be a bomb planted in it'. I only meniton this because on a recent trip, I decided to bring along a Compaq at the last minute and, as usual, I tossed the power cable into my suitcase which I checked at the counter. By the time I got to security, I was not able to boot up my system and prove it to be a computer, so I had to argue with the security manager and finally open the darn thing up to let him 'visually' inspect it before I could go thru. So... no matter what... if you carry it along, bring it's power cable too! (I know... my Mac case has room for everything too.. just wanted to toss in the caveat, since not many airports have the right tools to open a mac) Miles
