Alright, well as you will see, I do A LOT of stuff at once on my MacBook, as why you can see I named it the Little MacBook that could. Here are my specs, i have a 2.2 ghz Core 2, 250 Gig HD, 4 Gigs of Memory, and every program ever.

Well i just thought I would share a little screen shot of what all I have going on at once, almost every day not to mention. I love Macs, and I will NEVER own a PC...Just imagine if i had to do all this on one PC, Including running a 2 operating system, which I am doing at the same time.

Well here is a list of all the Programs I have running...
-Adobe Illustrator
-iTunes
-Firefox with 4 different tabs
-Skype (its' my business phone, i'm in Iraq)
-Adium (to talk to my girl)
-Preview
-Aperture (Working on a Picture for her)
-Excel for Mac (Working on my time sheet)
-System Preferences
-Transmission (Downloading some new music..yeah we have really good connection in my office in Iraq )
-and i had VMWARE running with XP2, i had some documents that i use windows for

But yeah, i just wanted to share it with someone, that I love Macs..I know this probably isn't the most ever opened at one time, but I still had 1.8 gigs of Memory left to spare :)

...that's pretty redic, but the 4GB of RAM is def helping out on that one. So glad that I just ordered an upgrade of 4GB off newegg.

How you like Aperture compared to PS? (if you have used PS)

Yeah the 4 GIG upgrade was worth it, i bought mine with 2 gigs, and i took that out and replaced it with the 4 gigs before i even turned the computer on...

But I prefer Photoshop to tell you the truth, Aperture is just something I use when i need to do something that is easy and fast, But i just got it so maybe my thoughts will change.
