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

    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...

    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.
