I was only kidding. Not too much demand for 1.6 Ghz Pentium 4s.

Only question mark is a reported issue on thermal paste that I read two days ago. They had this problem on the original MacBook Pros and Apple took care of it. I am waiting to see what Apple says about the issue. A few customers took their MBPs apart to find out why they were hot on the bottom and found too much thermal paste. They reapplied their own correctly and operating temps dropped about 10 degrees C.

If you really want to be impressed, go to an Apple store or CompUSA and pick one up in your hands (easier to do in an Apple
Store as they aren't held down by a plastic contraption). I think that the MacBooks are pretty nice too. If you're not used to Mac OSX, it can take some effort to play around. They're pretty good about providing help in the Apple stores too.

One thing I discovered is that if you have an issue with your Apple device, the stores have something called the Genius Bar where you can ask questions. Most of the people that I saw using it had questions on their iPods.
