The MacBook Air is beautiful, but too expensive for many (and, still, too big and heavy, for most mobile uses) so, following the Asus EEE trend, Apple could make a Smaller, Slimmer, Lighter and Cheaper MacBook Air with a 9" display and HALF the size, HALF the weight, HALF the price of the standard MBA (so, it may double its market share).

Making posts just to link to your blog is considered spam. Don't do it. —Chuck

I've edited the title but it's not changed (it can be done by mods)

Stop using our forum as a way to drive traffic to your sites. We call that Spam.
I've posted 90% of my proposal here, the linked page has only some specs I suggest (but, if you want, I can delete the link)

Good thing you watermarked that image; else others would very likely appropriate your hard work.

Seconded and thirded.

If I was a mod, I'd probably delete threads with titles like this w/o even checking on the content, because there's such a slim chance that it IS NOT spam.

Periods belong at the end of a sentence, not 3 cm below it.

I just signed up you dolt. Mainly because some of you are just plain rude. No reason to berate the guy and keep bumping the thread. Report it if you think it is SPAM and move on. Sheesh.

But his (gaetano's) webpages are an excellent source of amusement on an otherwise uneventful evening!!

Not counting the threads in the lounge of course.

After seeing this link to ::: NewSpaceAgency :::, I definitely raise the SPAM flag.

Does it matter?

Blog spam is blog spam, whether some other guy signs up specifically to point out that the forum is being rude to a spammer with a penchant for inane topics or not.

Welcome to MacNN; enjoy your stay.

I just don't get why anyone would complain it is SPAM, yet continue to bump the thread with stupid comments?

Was the site horrid? Yes.

Was the thread SPAM? Yes.

Will I continue to bump it with not so witty comments just to make my 'NN cred' look better? Yes.

I feel... that (in the early Apple days) Jobs and Wozniak looked VERY RIDICULOUS in their garage/lab... with their handmade "computer" made in a wood case... and their (crazy) attempt to compete with IBM...

however, this is the ONLY forum in the world where my proposal of "eeeAir" is looked as "spam" ...and that will become even more ridiculous if Apple will (soon) introduce EXACTLY the SAME idea I suggest...

Your proposal wasn't looked at as SPAM, you linking back to your blog in the body of your post was.
