New 'Puter

New MacBook Pros came out today, so Apple cut prices on refurbished models from previous generations... This one I've had my eye on because it's the last MBP that will run 10.4.9, hence I can run Classic on it.

I bought one.

New computer, hooray. I could use some advice!

I'm considering buying a 2.4 GHz glossy-screen MacBook Pro.

The Apple store has some refurbs for 300 bucks off. (Refurbished MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo...$2199.00)


Is this a good idea?

Should I wait until Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? (I think I can wait that long, it's been 7 years since my last new computer, what's a few months?)

What do you think?
