Ditto. Without the HDD or optical drive it's fairly light, and the battery lasts hours. Use a USB wifi dongle as needed. The keyboard and pointer nubbin work great. To be clear I also have an MBP, but I usually use the junker. The MBP gets used for potatoshop and client side testing. I also drive a '95 golf. Cost next to nothing to buy, parts laughably cheap. £500 for a convertible that goes like stink? Yes please. I could buy any car I wanted - but I prefer something cheap that I don't care too much about, that I can readily service myself. Also, it's far more environmentally friendly to use old stuff 'til it dies than to buy new stuff. Old doesn't mean bad - just old.
