Just a couple of weeks back, I blogged about how I was moving my files to a PC.  Well that experience convinced me that I really need an upgrade.  Although the PC experience was not too bad there was the occasional screen freeze and yes I got “the blue screen of death” about 3 times… possibly because that was a really old problem.  Anyway, during that time and this week, some of the local distributors of mac lowered the price of the previous models of MacBook Pros since the introduction of the Multi-Touch ones.  It was too good an opportunity to pass up.  So I got myself one.  Yup… the exact same one which I said would be “My Next Apple” about a year ago.

The performance boost was expected of course since it is a significant jump from my old Powerbook G4.   But what amazes me is the software really.  After an installation of a few key software packages, it was back to work for me.  It was like I was transported back into a familiar room except the furniture was new but still in the right place.  Getting familiar with Leopard (vs my previous Tiger installation) was a breeze.  No need to learn anything new.  That’s good for someone like me who needs to get back into work right away.  I have yet to migrate all my data, specially my email, but I think this is a good time to start fresh.  Now back to loading up my CDs in iTunes…
