Yeah they said its free under Applecare so that is good.  I have a Dell Laptop right now that is 6 or 7 lbs through work and I can't wait to get something light.  That has turned into an obsession to get the MOST lightweight laptop I can find.  I need to reign myself in and just be happy with a 4 lb laptop that will also be so much better than the Dell I'm lugging around right now.

Anyone have any experience yet with the new Macbook Air or Lenovo X300?  I am trying to decide between the two.  the x300 gets better performance reviews on cnet but its $1,000 more.  The only things I don't like about the Macbook Air is that there's no Disc drive, only 1 usb port, and no removable battery.  However, I'm not sure I want to pay 1,000 more for the extra features which are just luxuries that I would consider less important than the size and performance, which are about equal.

Eriro is totally right about the housework thing.  Also on the housework topic, here's my advice:  Stand your ground on making sure the housework is shared evenly because whatever jobs you fall into the routine of doing during that first year of marriage, they're likely to be the jobs you'll be doing forever... with a few exceptions of course.  I've been married 11 years and I took on the responsibility of laundry right away.  Now that we have two kids it would be nice to have help with the laundry and I'm making headway on getting his assistance, but my daughter's 9 years old, so you can see that it is not easy to change the routines you get into during that first year of marriage.  On the plus side, I've never mowed a lawn because my husband always does that job. 

Man, 12,000 would be SWEET

So just out of curiosity, how much is the stipend?  I always see posts about various law school scholarships offering stipends but I wonder how much the stipends are.
