Well, since I am taking a little trip this month I wanted to have a laptop and have put off replacing my old PC laptop for about a year and a half since breaking it.
Wanted to wait and get the new OS as part of the cost of the laptop, but went ahead and ordered a 15" Macbook Pro today. Decided on the smaller 15" due to my old laptop being a 17" and more often than not when actually travelling it seemed too big...sure the screen was great when working but it was more of a portable desktop than a laptop.
Now I will need to learn how to have the laptop sync with the Power Mac, and hope that having one PowerPC chip and one Intel chip does not cause any issues...which almost had me picking up a used G4. I wonder if softwares will be sold compatible with either chipset or if I have doomed myself to needing a new desktop.
So....now my transformation to MAC only is complete. Cannot wait for delivery. (Oh wait, the wife/kids computer is still a PC...need to work on that one next)
End of my rambling.
