13" MBP I configured (4GB RAM/256GB SSD) was removed from my cart because some of the configured options are no longer available?

@ethank @mattgemmell thanks! I think i'm going to go 256 SSD for now, and replace the optical drive with an OWC kit later.

@ethank @mattgemmell Ethan, guessing you mean third-party optical-hdd-replacement?

@ethank @mattgemmell or, the BTO screen. :-/

@ethank @mattgemmell I wondered if it was possible to replace Opt with HDD, but did not see that option on the MTO screens.

Speccing out my first actual new Mac since 2006, a work laptop/dual screen setup. Thinking 13" MBP + 27" LED Cinema display. Thoughts?

anyone else have a problem where your iPhone won't let you swipe-to-answer because it's vibrating?

Blog feature I'd like to see, implement: blog sidebar showing title and snippet of posts in draft form.

currently thinking about the theme: "your archives do not make you a blogger. your drafts do". aimed squarely at myself.

am now on @yo_stellar, experimenting -- only following people I actually know.

Apple store: Need a "save this mac" option on the main config screen, not just on the compare screen.

I'd like a site that let me spec out multiple Mac configurations (ie from the Apple Store) and compare them, price and feature-wise. Anyone?
