What's it all about, Alfie?

Well... I took about three times longer to order it than necessary - I had to triple-check that I had all the options picked out right, but I finally ordered a new 17-inch MacBook Pro from Apple. The aluminum unibody on the 15-inch I got for my Mom and played with for a while was just superb. Solid - just like I like things. Sleek. Smooth. Beautiful. Literally, a work of art.

I had to get the matte finish on the screen - it's just too important to me when I'm working on the train to have it glare at my with the glossy screen. Worth the $50 for that. I also got the faster 320GB HDD (7200 rpm) as I know that's a big factor in the compiles and loads, and I do a lot of that. Of course, I had to get the 8GB of RAM - that was something I've waited for for a long time.

It's due to arrive Feb 26^th. That's seven weeks away. I can wait. By then, I'll have iLife '09 and iWork '09 which will be a lot of fun to get this month, yet.
