I lost 6 years of work once, all my portfolio stuff, uni stuff and everything since, laptop and backup drives both stolen. Now EVERYTHING is in Dropbox. 1tb account, iPhoto, iTunes, all work, plus other important files and backups. Bit late now but moving forward I can't recommend Dropbox enough for safe offsite storage. Base MacBook Pro and Dropbox, brand new world. Bosh!

Once the cash comes through Ill go and have a proper look, eye up what i can afford against what i really need. It might be worth it if the screens are that different, I still use photoshop on some very big files...
Im gutted that the original was pinched its got a fair chunk of unrecoverable data on there as they had one of my backup drives too. It had lasted 4 years without an issue and i was expecting at least 2 more years out of it. Especially considering my first Mac (Powerbook) did 6 years at the coal face and still operates occasionally as a media server. it really is amazing how long they last with few/no issues.
