When I bought the Speck, they have 3 colors, red, yellow and purple. Didn't see any black color. It also has the Speck hard shell type but I like the soft touch finishing so bought the Satin.

Anyone know whether if using Speck SeeThru, can I still put on Moshi palm guard? Thinking of getting palm guard as well.

im using both seethru and palmguard. no problem smile.gif

Just bought a new MBP, 15" yesterday (10 Dec 09) at Machines in 1U. I just check and the os is OS X 10.5.8 , not snow leopard as i'd expect.

Shouldn't I be getting Snow Leopard instead ?

Continuing from your original thread, you should be happy that you've got Leopard with an option for SL... Imagine some of your older apps are still not compatible with SL, while newer apps sometimes cost arms and legs to upgrade, you still have the option to run them on Leopard until they do...

I run Pro Tools 7.4.2 on Leopard, knowing that even Pro Tools 8 is not fully compatible with SL yet. The former runs on SL just fine, but it can be finicky sometimes, even so especially when there are PT plugin developers which are slow to adopt SL...

Well official Windows 7 support will come by the "end of the year" according to Apple. I've ran the Beta earlier this year and didn't encounter any problems using the current drivers.

All of the OS X version of Windows software are way better on OS X. They're much easier to use, have smoother graphics and... well... just better. They're right, once you go mac, you'll never go back, haha!

I have checked that my new MBP come with OS X version 10.6. Do I need to update to 10.6.2?
