im so glad i have a first generation too, it has fire wire ports and i can plug it into a different monitor for presentations or a larger work space!
as soon as i saw steve jobs' presentation i began to think my macbook was getting long in the tooth.
the isight camera is fun too -- and creating presentations feels a whole lot easier as well.
it is very nice computer to use especially during presentations (apple keynote is awesome, especially, its presenter mode).
i purchased this notebook for my media work and one of my favorite things about the mbpro is the multiple ports it has (usb 2.0/firewire 400/firewire 800/express) along with a regular dvi (digital)
i've connected this lat top via a mini display port to vga adapter to an epson power lite s5 projector for power point presentations and wow it works great.
i gave a presentation using iwork (amazing software by the way) the other day and there were more questions about my laptop than about my presentation.
this is extremely helpful when you are in the middle of a full screen presentation.
i watch movies on it, do presentations on it, browse the internet and check my mail.
iwork (purchased separately) is a refreshingly elegant, and more user-friendly re-think of wordprocessing and page layout, spreadsheet, and presentation software.
