Another new computer

I am hoping for a day where technology can no longer make things smaller, faster and better. Because on that day I will not have that burning feeling every time something newer comes out. I am writing this outside on my deck on my new and improved 17" Macbook Pro. At least this time, I did need to upgrade. My old 13" Macbook was getting a bit long in the tooth. Yes it was an Intel based Mac but it came to a point where I was just using it as a media centre. I installed Plex (plexapp.com) and had it hooked up to my bedroom TV just for watching movies. Which is all fine and well but it did seem like I wasn't using it for much else... like sitting on the deck for the few remaining weeks of nice weather we have here in Edmonton. I wasn't actually planning on upgrading the Macbook first. I intended to replace my old 20" iMac. Now this is 4 maybe 5 years old and is running the older power PC chips. So I can't even upgrade the OS to Snow Leopard. This will become my media centre on my living room TV eventually and it will do a very good job at it, but the Macbook is just more versatile for my needs right now.

So give it a few months until March or April when my tax cheque comes in and I will be writing again about my latest purchase. Unless technology reaches the end of it's capabilities... but i'm not holding my breathe.
