Last time I brought home a MacBook Pro it was for a brief period to make sure a new web-based service would work on OSX. It did so I brought the MacBook back. This time it's for an extended eval in order to get my skills on a Mac up to date. So the above MacBook Pro 15" is my baby for some time to come. A fresh out of the box, break the seal sort of deal. Weee.

With that said, I am going to get my ass in gear and update the look & feel for this blog, as I have been intending on doing for about 2 years now. The final design is settled upon but it's about getting around to it. Once done, I am going to make my primary home computer this MacBook as that is the only way to really get a handle on the ins and outs of this new environment. Oh Kingmob (my PC) will still be the main computer for gaming and other shite, but all the day to day computing (and blogging) will be done with this guy. And if I find the software, photoimage manipulating, photoast site building, CD cover production, game writing and networking learning.

First experience with turning it on was that "never really experienced before" First Time On setup of the laptop. It walks you through a basic wizard, which went easily with only one hitch -- the default wireless internet connection is just WEP -- my router required the setting 40char WEP. And what's up with the $ in front of the chars? But she is up there and running. The next few weeks or months will be fun.

Anybody suggest any good New User Mac blogs ? October 19 07
