That's all the Craic from this week's Mac ! Justin's Note:   One of the things we did not mention was Apple Care.   Don't buy it from Apple when they try to sell it to you.   You'll get it cheaper if you shop around.   You have one year to purchase and activate it to get the extended warranty and believe me it is worth it.
