Totally Worth It
Category: technology
OK, so I've had this new laptop for a week (upgraded from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro). At first I was really nervous that I just wanted to upgrade because I wanted the latest and greatest, but didn't really *need* the latest and greatest. It turns out that it was totally worth it.

  • 4gb of RAM. I can run all the programs that I need at the same time instead of starting them up and shutting down throughout the day. In the case of making web graphics, this is a huge time savings. Text editor, App Server instances, Photoshop, Fireworks, Lightroom, MS Office, News reader, FTP client, Safari, Firefox, SQL client, iTunes, iChat OmniFocus, Mail, and half a dozen other programs all open all day long. And - I can leave one or two Windows VM instances running in the background all the time. Again, huge time savings in testing web apps.

  • Rock solid. This laptop just doesn't seem to hesitate. It is always ready to go when I need it. No hardware trouble, sleeps and wakes up fast.

  • Bigger screen. Awesome, more room to work.

  • Metal enclosure. Feels more rugged.

  • Firewire 800. Super fast external storage.

  • Dual DVI out for a large external monitor.

This is my most favorite computer of all computers that I've ever owned in the last 20 years.

LOL!

Paul, we need to have an intervention.
paul - 01/23/08 19:02
Okay, I am seriously thinking about buying. Now lets just see if I can pump some more money out of secondlife. It sounds pretty freakin cool :::link::: and has 3G data.
paul - 01/23/08 18:59
I do love jewels and pink and I think that perhaps I am in store for a smaller phone to accompany my not phone.

Looks pretty scandalous to me.

Scandalous!
zobar - 01/22/08 18:11
I think it's funny because (e:jim)'s dad is Al Gore.

I can't tell if it is funny because they got the Charlie's Angels pose wrong or if it is funny because they intentionally got the Charlie's Angels pose wrong to hilarious effect.

Setting up new computer this weekend:

image

We went to (e:Janelle) and (e:Drew) 's for an afternoon of fun on MLK day.

I won Balderdash (like always!)

image

Drew won Apples to Apples:

And after Drew and Janelle's soiree we went out to Left Bank for dinner (it's (e:James) and my 3 year anniversary today)

Delish!

happy anniversary!

(jenks-balderdash is a super fun game of words and definitions!)
jason - 01/22/08 13:06
Hahaha. I love those signs. You know, all boys are pre-programmed to be little monstrous violent thugs who need government re-programming in order to know the difference between right and wrong.
jenks - 01/21/08 21:19
happy anniversary! don't you just love left bank?
and, what's balderdash about?
james - 01/21/08 20:35
He's watching
He's waiting
He'll listen

Is this a promo poster for the Halloween prequel?
mrmike - 01/21/08 20:34
Happy anniversary, heard about the gaming fun too late to participate...or was that the plan all along?
drew - 01/21/08 20:25
Happy anniversary. I will win Balderdash next time.
mike - 01/21/08 20:08
Happy Anniversary! Did you guys meet at a Martin Luther King Day parade/party?
