A MacBook Pro...

Ok,
So, there are many things that I have on my 'to-get' list. I did not think that the Mac Book Pro would move to the top of that list.

Well, after hearing great things from several friends who are using the Mac Book, and enjoying OS x alongside of XP, I thought, what the heck... I might as well give it a try. Also, Apple announced at the beginning of July that they were upping the CPU to 2.4ghz Intel Core Two Duo.

The MBP(as I have seen it abbreviated on Apple.com) arrived today. I downloaded a trial of Parallels, installed XP, and so I feel quite confident running my Windows software in XP and giving OS X a shot. I have already found Mac Versions for a lot of the things that I need.

Oh, Parallels with cohesion makes it feel like I am using both operating systems seamlessly. I have only had a couple of instances where the Windows felt like, well, windows... but not in a bad way. Even with Windows running in the background, OS X performs the tasks that I ask quite well.

I will write more as the experiences happen.
