I learned the hard way not to buy version 1.0 of anything (even Apple stuff). The new MBP has a lot of changes, and it's going to take a bit to iron them out. //someone who is still running Snow Leopard on a year-old MBP because she doesn't want to pay out for a full Adobe CS upgrade Take the cheque.

If Logan were asking, I'd say take the check, because $100 would be huge for her right now. But since Mike is pretty financially comfortable, I think the upgraded computer is worth it, based on the little information I know about the upgrades. @Jake Reinhardt I pretty much agree.

That's worth more than $100.
