my 2.26 13" MBP plays HD movies on a second screen no problem.

There's a very vague problem with Nvidia but I think it only applied to 15/17" MBPs and even in the annals of "very few affected" it seems that very very few were affected by it. Apple extended the warranties on the affected kit back in the Spring from memory. It wouldn't stop me buying.

Also, do you have a Mac at home? If so you could screen share via iChat and look at her Mac ...

update - well it seems parallels 4 lets me associate .nzb files with newsleecher, so when I download them in OSX and double click, it launches parallels and newsleecher. So thats a start woudl be nice to have something OSX native though I suppose

I bought mine for £45 on e-bay and I would have thought that speaking to Apple would give better results than speaking to someone from John Lewis.

Honestly it gets worse: mail which has never been marked as Junk can end up in there too. I can only assume that Mail is discriminating not only on the address but possibly on the mailservers it routes through?
