A big announcement, Inter-net:
We're expecting a new addition to the Blogorelli household.
MY MACBOOK PRO LAPTOP!!!

After literally one hundred hours of research on Apple insider sites and discussion boards over the past six months falied to yield any reliable hints that new pro-level laptops would release at MacWorld in January, I decided to take the plunge yesterday at the Apple store in Providence. The Prof and I worked a great deal, and although Bobby Crocker predicts three weeks as the over/under for me being disastified with my purchase, I feel pretty elated today.
Since I upgraded to the newly offered 250GB hard drive, the machine isn't scheduled to ship for two weeks. TWO WEEKS! A slight buzzkill, but I plan to use the time to prep Johnny 5's content for transfer, and decide on accessories...and a name, of course. Any suggestions?



Do you still like it?

wellll...
i actually think there is a chance for *some kind* of laptop update at MWSF in January. But then I'd be waiting for 1/08 another month for delivery in 2/08, and on and on....
Besides, Macbook Pros have a great resale value -- I already checked ;)

yah! have fun! i can't wait to see what kind of accessories you get because i have been searching for laptop sleeves and whatnot and i can't decide on one. i'm carrying her around in a $20 black laptop bag i got at walmart - not cool. what size did you get? i named mine olive, after the little girl in little miss sunshine, and my ipod nano is marty - shortened from martini because it's a little ipod. i love being a geek.
