Default My Macbook Pro finally arrived from Shanghai

for a while, I was afraid it had been "Shanghaied" when Fed Ex was saying it was "shipment exception" status.

Anyway, haven't had much time to mess with it. I did set up the work VPN, only to discover that I can only surf the intranet and not the internet. Not cool. Will have to figure out what's going on with that.

Overall the interfaces in OS 10 are very slick.

I bought parallels, so I will have to try that out.

So, Jason's computer arrived today. He had ordered an upgraded ATI card. They accidentally sent two. Billed him for one.

Jason happy, happy boy.

That's because you have a small hard drive.

My hard drive might not be the biggest on the market, but I know how to use every single kilobyte, and truly, that's what counts.
