Now entering MacBook-ville...
population: ME
Following the burnout and subsequent death of my trusty old acer laptop - the computer that recorded every word of my thesis, and took with it a whole lot of not-backed-up data - a new electronic work companion was needed. But where was I to turn? To the new version of the old faithful? No, it was time to move forward. So with Mohan's raving laughter in my ear, I entered the world of Apple, with my spanking-new 13-inch, 2.0 GHz, 1Gb ram, white MacBook! Yes it is cool and I'm all about the Mac now.
Thanks to the educational discount and the start of the school year here, I saved some cash, and got a free 2Gb iPod nano in the deal. Sweet.
Here's a photo, taken with the MacBook built in camera, of me and my nano - check out the engraving.
I also picked up an 250 Gb external hard-drive - I learnt the back-up lesson the hard way.
Now I got no excuse to not get some work done... except for the start of hockey season!
