After playing the fields of Ruby on Rails for much of the last year, and seeing a buddy get a sweet one of his own from his new employer, I couldn’t resist and will be joining the anti-borg in the next day or two. Timing is up to FedEx now so don’t let me down!
Yes, I bought a MacBook, the (relatively) easy on the pocketbook white 2.0 GHz model. I am not quite so enamored to spend $150 extra just to get it in black or $4-500 to get the two inch larger (and aluminum) MacBook Pro. I will add memory, to the 2GB limit but from a 3rd party vendor for $200 since Apple charges $500 for the house brand.
The makers of several software products, Parallels and MacroMates and probably a few others, can expect orders from me too. I’ve been tracking a bunch of open source and shareware apps in anticipation, too. Tips and suggestions will be welcome, of course.
Posting may be somewhat crimped from time spent getting up to speed with all the newness. I’m sure you’ll understand. I can hardly wait!
