Thanks, that's what I was after.
Parallels works just fine with a MB C2D 2GHz and 1Gb RAM... I used just one virtual machine with Windows XP (then later downloaded from Microsoft SP2 - it's all good, office is actually very snappy under parallels, I dare to say faster than the 2004 for Mac). That's what I used to have, however for improved performance I have upgraded to 2Gb which is probably something very useful overall, not just for Parallels but also for Rosetta and similar applications.

Black Friday is the day after the US Thanksgiving holiday, which is this Thursday. It is called Black Friday because it is the "official" start of the Christmas buying season and it is supposedly the time when retailers first begin to show a profit for the year. (Red to Black). There are usually lots of sales, some stores with loss-leaders.

Shipped faster than expected but...
I ordered the white book (mid one) with upgraded RAM (I'm in Ottawa). I ordered it 1 or two days after they were announced and it was in my house last Monday, so that was faster than the original estimated shipping date.
The bad news, I am just waiting for the Fedex stickers to send it back. The screen has no dead pixels, which is good. The problem is there is something in the trackpad that feels like a couple of grains of sand. You barely see them but it is very uncortable to the touch, especially because it is right in the midle of the pad, the area most frequently used.
Anyhow, Since I have bought a bunch of things from them recently (including my nice MBP C2D), they agreed to replace it and told me I will have the new one shipped with 2 days delivery, so the new one should be with me 2 weeks after I send this one back.
Sounds silly to send it back for such thing but I noticed a couple of scratches also around the keyboard and that made me wonder since it looked like it was used. Anyhow, since it is my wife's Christmas present, I wanted it to look and 'feel' new. Only thing now is hope it is back before Christmas.

I also posted this else where.
How do I track my MacBook.
This is what I got from Apple:
Carrier Tracking Number: 80XXXXXX
Assigned Carrier: WALSH WESTERN UKDC
When I tried using Walsh Western or FLEXTRONICS LOGISTICS UK, they asked me for a Tracking Reference and a Customer Reference. Where can I find these?
