If you do decide to format and reinstall create a partition and a disk image of a clean install.

Since you want the computer to be a media hub for your family, and you already have 100GB of media, I would go for the larger hard drive. Your media needs are only going to increase - especially with pictures and video from your T1i.
On the Office/iWorks issue I have to agree that if you are going to be exchanging files with office users (i.e. from work, family, etc), then just get office.
It will help for the kids also, when they are working on files for school. My kids were always working on Word Documents, Powerpoint Documents, etc. After spending alot of time on the documents at home, they need to know they work at school on the Windows machines...
On the subject of Applecare, this will provide you with two additional years of warranty coverage - after your warranty ends. You have to purchase it before the warranty ends, but it doesn't matter if you buy it on day 1 or day 365 - you get the same amount of coverage either way.
Remember Applecare doesn't cover accidental damage. Only warranty type issues, such as a dead motherboard, bad LCD, etc. Sometimes I think you do get preferential treatment at the Apple store though if you have purchased Applecare.
I have had very good luck with my Apple machines, so I don't tend to purchase it. That said, I have a pair of iMac G5's (2006 vintage) that could probably been repaired out of warranty with Applecare.
I would tend to agree on waiting to purchase it if you have any doubts. Give yourself 10 months or so to live with the machine, and see how it is working for you. Read the forums here and see how others with the same models are doing. If you are comfortable with it then you don't have to purchase it. If you have any concerns, then feel free to purchase it for some additional piece of mind.
One last thing - make sure you purchase an external hard drive if you don't already have one. Set it up with Time Machine (included with your Mac) or the backup program of your choice, and make sure all of that media is backed up. If you can, get two drives, and keep one of them at work, or somewhere else offsite, just incase something happens at your home.
Good luck with your new Mac!

You should upload some pictures and a review.
Will do. I should be getting it some time between Wednesday and Friday.

WMV. Vomits!!! :) I have Flip 4 Mac which I use for converting this bastard format my "odd" clients sometimes give to me. They offer a free plug-in for playback you peeps should check out. BTW, MS bought this company the other year right when they pulled their MASSIVE-POS WMP from OS X.
Video, one more notch on MS's mediocre belt.
Oooooh, motion control... :eek:
This games looks cool and I look forward to playing it, but it's Factor 5! They made Rogue Squadron 3, :( which is one of the worst Cube games. (The only good part of this game was the RS2 co-op.) It's the only game I owned that actually froze my Cube. They're good with "arcade" flight, but when it comes ot running a character around, they don't know what they're doing. Their earlier RS games were much better.

The apple doesn't quite register as a zero. It ended up looking to me like 1 million forum posts. Maybe if the 1 and the apple were in the same frame....
agreed but its prob to late now ;)

If you look at the buyers guide (the link is at the top right of this page) it says that the macbook is overdue for an update. I'm waiting for the update too, so hopefully it will be soon!

Do you have the email set up as POP or IMAP? If you do POP, then when you delete on the ipad it deletes on the iPad but stays on the server. Set it up as IMAP and when you delete from ipad it will delete from server.

What's that supposed to mean?
I'm sure he means that the email is written in like the way an Italian with an accent talks/writes.

Gaming tests etc to follow shortly - Mafia 2, Crysis 2, Portal 2 and Starcraft to be specifc. Gaming tests are a bit hard for me - not the best of players and never played any of these apart from COD MW2 and Blops. But nevertheless, if its what you guys want to see - so be it. Just need a day or two to put some decent gameplay together.
Crysis 2 first plox!

OK, am I the only one....
Someone from Bioware said that they are pulling in a HUGE amount of data from your ME2 save if you import. Granted, much of this might be trivial stuff that has no REAL importance on the game. But either way, you will be able to import your person just fine, and I'm sure major plot decisions from ME2 will have consequences in ME3.

if you havent noticed there isnt an apple story anywhere near moscow... spokane doesnt even have one. good luck buddy
A little extra Google time would have let you know that Moscow, ID has a Walmart, Radio Shack, and AT&T store.
Anyone going here?
My wife is going to show up at the AT&T store early in hopes of getting her hands on one. They said to expect a good-sized line. They supposedly have about 60.
Walmart people didn't seem to know anything when I called them, and Radio Shack says they're not getting any at all, so I think the AT&T store is your only bet.

I've always wanted to have a photo that looked like this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/erinnnk/5593096681/in/photostream) it's kind of soft and kind of faded. I looked all over but still do not know how to obtain this effect. How do I do this?
