My MacBook is here! All I can say is, awesome. Right now I’m too busy getting it all setup the way I like it, but I promise I’ll post pics soon!

The good news is that the MacBook shipped today. The bad news is that it shipped from China. I’m SUPPOSED to get the laptop on Thursday, but I’m not all that confident that will happen. I’ve heard horror stories of people buying the MacBook Pros and they just sit in customs (in China) until the Chinese officials feel like clearing it. Anyway, we’ll see. Keep your fingeres crossed for me!

I ordered my MacBook today. It ended up costing me $1500 for a 2.0Ghz Core Duo, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, Superdrive, White MacBook. I can’t wait. It’ll probably get here in about a week. For the same price of the black model, you can tweak the mid-level white model with a bigger HD, and more RAM. (So in the end, for the same price as the black model, you can get the white model with the same HD space as the black, but with more RAM.) Woohoo!

My G3 iBook is finally reaching the end of her usefulness. After 4 good years, the poor girl just doesn’t have what it takes to satisfy me anymore. She’s not fast enough. She overheats too easy. She can’t do the work I need her to do anymore. And, she whines all the time. It’s time to upgrade to the new slim, fast, quiet, smooth, pretty MacBook. I’d go with a Pro, but they’re just too expensive for my budget, and besides – I can get the regular MacBook to do what I want just as well, for less money! I’m going to order her online, but I’ll have to get the funds first. Hopefully she’ll be on her way by the end of the week. I can’t wait!

WOW – was this blog entry suggestive enough for ya? I just couldn’t resist.
