Vic-

You don't have to worry about the DVD drive breaking...they don't come in macs any more :-).

You can buy a superdrive that plugs into USB port, but Apple thinks CDs and DVDs are going the way of the floppy drive (I'm not really on board with that yet, but it is probably true :-)

I've had 3 macbook pros, other than a few dings in the aluminum case, I've not had any problem that couldn't get fixed in the shop (one needed a new screen due to dropping some photo gear on it - $300 careless penalty for being clumsy).

The change of systems is scary but not hard at all. The best part about mac is that all your stuff syncs really really well. They say "it just works" and they are partly right :-) ... It works better than windows did for me, at least.

Cheers,

Tom
