After all this, I had to return it. Too big.

Get a MacBook. It's small, cute and a Mac. ;)

PS. If anything you got an awesome story out of it!

I really debated with myself during Thanksgiving about the MacBook Pro. I got to play around with it, and it is very cool. Lightweight, but solid. Fast as hell. But I kind of resent the sentiment out there that Mac = Cool. It's all marketing. The bottom line is that there is some core software I use which I'd have to re-purchase, and some other software that isn't even available on Mac. Altogether, I'd probably wind up spending an extra two grand getting a MBP as opposed to an equivalent PC laptop. It's just not worth the extra cost, time, hassle to switch right now. And I'm kind of curious about Vista. But I will still use our little iBook to write! :-)

With the new intels you can have dual boot.

And I dont buy in to the marketing, either. As good as it actually is. I buy in to the stability, the interface and the intuitiveness.

My guess is that Vista will pretty much be like OSX, but less stable. Just a hunch. ;)

What's even better than the dual boot is running the virtual machine (Parallels) where you can run WinXP while still being in OS X. Slick!

One way to relax after a Sunday afternoon herding leaves is to have a couple of beers and sit on the couch with your hand under your belt and watch some football and feel good and fine and strong--and downright brawny, damnit, like the guy on the paper towel rolls--for having worked hard and for having cuts on your hands and dirt under your nails and an easy sort of pain in your muscles.

The weird part wasn't that Honey, you know ... spoke. It was that she spoke with an English accent. It wasn't exactly a proper, "Received English" kind of English, but it wasn't quite an East End of London, Cockney type of thing, either. It reminded me of the Beatles. She had a sort of nasal thing going on. Like John.

Lately my taste for "short" has dwindled down to one-sentence powerhouses. They're short and sweet, but they really pack a punch. The great thing about these little text candies is they can be consumed in an instant, while you go about your daily routines. The other day, for instance, I was brushing my teeth and came across this little gem.
