So my white macbook has been going strong for years... we have an aluminum macbook pro as well, which I will use one this thing becomes obsolete, but for now it's still a good machine. Having said that, the only update I ever get is for "Itunes." It's been probably 6 months - 1 year that I've been prompted to update anything else besides the latest version of Itunes (which I always ignore btw). :x
Any suggestions/ideas? thx
