My work ride is a 15" MacBook Pro as I slowly leave a dual G5 tower behind (it'll be the family machine shortly but I have to convert to Eclipse/Java1.5/Axis1.4 on the laptop first.) Posting this from a way old iMac which is about to be scrubbed clean. I do see Ubuntu in my future though. [sm_shock] Title: Re: New Laptop Post by: dystopia on July 03, 2008, 06:18:35 PM I do see Ubuntu in my future though. [sm_shock] One of the main reasons I went with a macbook is because of the ability to triple-boot to OS X, Linux, and Windows.

[sm_devil] Noobs. ::) The coolest is when you're so cool you don't stoop to flaunting your coolness. I keep my MacBook in my backback just so people don't quite know. Like Clint Eastwood, I just roll into town and keep 'em wondering. That's *goshdarn* cool.
