So we needed to do some testing of sites on Safari on a Mac, and I asked around the company, and low it turns out that there was an orphan MacBook Pro floating about. After a quick trip via FedEx, this lithe beast is now sitting on my desk. Turns out that the power supply has a short in it, so it will be a few days before I fire it up and take furtive steps into the the heart of darkness.
Actually I'm pretty excited to see what all the fuss is about. With a dead battery and no juice, my take thus far is purely physical, and as everyone knows, Apple groks design. Why can't my Toshiba be as solid, and well designed at this Mac? Who knows, but it sure feels nice. Once I get it fired up, we'll see how OS10 treats me. I'm got some rusty old-skool unix tricks up my sleeves, but it's going to be a little bumpy at first. Clearly there is something good going in with them though, as MacBooks were the rule for anyone with any sort of Neogeo cred at Where 2.0 . We'll see if 10 years of Windows development has ruined me, or if I can get my Mac on. Stay tuned!
