All right, this is unfamiliar. I don't know if I sound right. I'm not using my microphone.

I'm not using my headphones, although they are identical to my headphones. And I'm not even using

or something like that. My theory is that the MacBook Air replacement is just going to be a new

configuration of the MacBook Escape. But do you think they're finally going to give it a different
