Just checked, and it's still "new" here.... see the screen shot.
Well, I suppose it is new compared to my early 2009 model. I recently added more RAM (now 1GB + 4GB = 5GB) so I could install OS X 10.8; a worthwhile upgrade. It's fine for my needs, and will probably do me for several more years. I don't know what all the whinging is about, but then I am not a geeky fanboy; just a humble user.
