Near the end of the drama

Well, I just got an email notifying me that the T400 shipped from HK(!) and is bound to come to my apartment sometime soon, probably by Saturday this week or sometime next week. I guess all those days of using my EEEpc for nearly everything is coming to a close...


Now I need to get a decent Linux distribution for secondary (work) use on that laptop. I can hardly wait... Though not being able to make the OS X jump this time is leaving an odd aftertaste in my mouth, especially since now I have to all sorts of secondary installs/tweaking on the vista distribution to make it compatible for work (ugh, and the fact that Windows has no apt-get repo equivalent simply pisses me off. That's one thing the next version of windows needs. Not some fancy eye candy gimmicks.)

I saw one of my colleagues using one of the new MacBook models in the lab today. I'd say the only fault in the computer, designwise, is the glaring Apple logo on the top of the computer that lights up. As much as I like Paradise/Newton reference I don't feel comfortable becoming a carrier of such an obvious corporate logo.

Oh well, maybe this is for the best.
