    OK I'll be buying a macbook soon and I just have a few questions...

    1) I think I've asked this before, can I make a disk image of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne using disk utility so that I can get on Bnet without having to carry the disc with me?

    2) Is there anything I should do immediately when i get my macbook? Calibrate the battery that kind of thing?

    3) Can I "host" arranged team games on my macbook? (For those of you who play WC3) I know there's some weird stuff you have to do with the ports and everything like that in order to "host" the games...

    Thanks for everyone's help!

    P.S. Check out MacRumors, Engadget, NotebookReview, and Macworld at 10:00-12:00 tomorrow!

    1) Not sure. So I won't answer that.

    2) Yes, calibrate the battery. You know how to do that, right? Just run down the battery until you MacBook sleeps by itself, then wait 5 hours or more [thanks sp00n for correction], and then charge the battery fully. Other than that, nothing needs to be done right away...

    3) Don't know either.

    And yes, tomorrow will be exciting. New iMacs, and it seems new .Mac upgrades (Apple's sent a notice to all users saying .Mac will be down tomorrow during the time of the Keynote), possibly new iLife and iWork.
