I lost the battle...

I tried...

Almost 2 months waiting for the Merom MBP to come out, it never happened. (Not like it was going to, anyways...)

I pondered, debated, and thought endlessly what I should do about buying a new computer.

I finally gave in today and bought a Mac Pro at the Apple Store to sooth my withdrawls.

Goodbye portability, hello performance!!!

I figured I still have my powerbook g4 to do my little things like internet, word processing, take it to school, etc.

The thing is, I'm like a new user now. I don't know what to do with this thing! I haven't even played a computer game in 5 years...

Come to think of it, it WAS 5 years...Monkey Island IV :lol:

Haha, you'll get used to it. I personally think it's better to have a great desktop and a get-the-job-done laptop, because it's cheaper and easier keeping your desktop up-to-date than your laptop.

Sure, they're convenient, but you're always going to get better performance for less with a desktop.

Yeah, it was alright...:)

Just got this thing running. It sure beats a Powerbook G4 400Mhz...

Placebo, I don't know how you're going to wait another month for this thing. It's pretty sweet...

When you move out of the parent's house, you find out otherwise.

[Placebo]

And when you finally get a solid job, you find out otherwise to your otherwise.

Those of use with solid jobs tend to have a notebook and a desktop. I was more refering to college, in which case there is very little room to have a big desktop.
