im sorry but why does it cost $250 to upgrade to a 128gb SSD?

when it comes to macbook pro's everybody knows that you better off buying spare parts such as ram and storage elsewhere. Apple would like to discourage you from getting those options, that's why those options cost like a steal on the apple store. They don't want to buy extra stocks of ram and hd.

these should all be shipping with solid state drives imo. It's time for apple to let up on the ass raping a bit

If you really want an SSD you can install one on your own in 3 minutes, go to new egg, get the solid state you want at a quite cheaper price, install, end of story.

EDIT: double-checked on new egg, a 128 gb SSD is 229$. A 512 costs 1200$. ouch.

I wonder if there will be ever be a proper equivalent of WINE for running mac apps on Linux. All i've seen yet was Mac-on-Linux (far from finished) and SheepShaver which runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru 9.0.4-applications. Logic is for OSX only, no?
I bet Linux would own mac so hard. If it only got the chance. *closes eyes and dreams of a free open-source world*

linux as it is now is mostly developed by its users during their freetime. Forget the port of a sequencer such as logic on that platform, that would take way too much time and effort, and I am not sure about overall stability. There are a few sequencers for linux though. And as far as I remember Logic 6.4 was the latest on mac os 9, I remember having to say tdm goodbye on os X back in 2004/2005. thousands of $ thrown by the window courtesy of avid. BTW Logic 6.4 is considered by some as the best version of logic ever.

I guess they still have trouble with some old legacy code from the emagic time which was never designed for multi core usage.

Yeah I know, but they have written WINE which emulates a Windows environment, by running only the needed dll's and other MS-stuff, and it is supposed to work great on many occasions.

An equivalent for Mac-software (maybe call it MINE?), that emulates an OSX environment couldn't be that hard to create, or?

I'm not really big into coding, I've only come as far as compiling software from source, and that's not that advanced lol! :P so there may be a few thing I'm missing about it.
