Brought my MBPro to work today....... and I just have to laugh because.....

I work on a refurbished Mac G4 Cube PowerPC with 500 MHz and 768MB ram. 20 gig HD.

My specs for my laptop are under my name....

Anyway.....

I came in.... hit the Power button on the cube....

Unpacked my laptop from my case, plugged it in, powered it on, launched photoshop CS2 ALL before the Cube finished starting up.......

ROFLMAO~~~

Will my boss every upgrade?

Heck no........ :Angry:

Haha, I think you should show her how long it takes for each machine to boot up and maybe she will change her mind!
