What you see above is a 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo Mac with 2GB of RAM and 80GB hard drive. Don’t believe me? I’m not so sure I believe it either but here’s a look at the innards.1

As the story goes, Bart Reardon ( @bartreardon ) was given a broken MacBook Air.

Bart had seen the motherboard for the MacBook Air way back when Steve Jobs first held it up at the announcement keynote and thought it should fit in one of those old white plastic Apple keyboards. Now he had his chance to find out!

You can follow Bart’s progress on his blog.

Tell me; is this Mac awesomeness? Would you dig a Mac/Keyboard combo? Leave a comment and we’ll chat.

Meet the Geeks

We are all kinds of excited here at MacMerc for this year’s World Wide Developer’s Conference. You know you’ll be there (virtually speaking). Now you can be there in style, with a few free downloads…

iStumbler

First off, there’s the mater of connecting. For those of you living the mobile lifestyle, you’ll want to take a look at iStumbler. This little program sniffs out open AirPort networks and gets you connected to them.

Internet Connect Scripts

These AppleScripts automate your connection to the internet and can launch applications and even sign-in to chat services. You will have to be comfortable with AppleScript to do some minor editing on these, but these scripts are a great way to get online and straight into the action!

iChatExporter

If you join the MacMerc live chat via iChat, this handy app will let you extract a text version of your chat logs. These are much easier to read and edit than the format that iChat stores them in.

ContactCreator

Undoubtedly, you’ll meet some new friends at the live chat event. The Contact Creator service is a fast way to make a new Address Book contact from any selected text. You’ll be able to add those chat alias’ to your Address Book without missing any of the action.

WWDC 2003 Agenda

For those of you going to the conference (or those playing along at home) you can download the complete agenda for your Palm device. It comes in an eBook and Web Clipping format.

Okay, now you’re all hooked up and ready for Monday and the big keynote. I hope to see you all in the chat rooms!
