I'm considering the new Air as main programming machine. I'm only leery of the Core 2 Duo processor (why didn't they use i5/i7?) and the glossy display which is not ideal for programming. I will have an external monitor as main display thou

Simple and nice design; especially spot-on is the periodic table look & feel which is visually easy to remember. One thing that's a little odd is that from reading the site's content marijuana looks like a 100% perfect drug. I was expec
