MacBook

I have never owned a laptop. Sure it would be helpful to take notes with when i am in class, but we have never really had the money for one, especially a Mac.
I work 3rd shift and am able to take advantage of "down time" by studying and preparing for 3rd Place. Often I pack up my mac mini and a keyboard and mouse and take it to work with me, borrowing a flat panel there. This is effective but a hassle.

I have been a Mac geek most of my life. Starting my senior year in highschool, I became very familiar with the Mac. I was a journalism major and worked long hours on design and text placement. Although I chose to go in a different occupational direction, I never strayed from my Mac. I am a Macvangelist, telling people the MacGospel everywhere i go. I even converted my father-in-law. But I was never able to attain the holy grail of Macs, a laptop. Through a series of blessings, I was able to find a MacBook for $500 off the original price. I placed the order for a black 13.3 inch, 2G Intel Duo Processor, 80G Hard drive MacBook. It was listed as having only 512M of Ram, but I felt comfortable upgrading that later. Well it arrived yesterday, just in time to load a few programs and head of to school. I ran a system profile just to check out the specs on it. And to my surprise, it had 1G of Ram. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal to some of you, but that was pretty cool when you expected half of that.

It also has a strong wifi card built in, as well as blue tooth, a dvdr+/cd burner, and the capability of running Windoze as well as Mac OS X. I don't know if i will take advantage of running a Microsloth OS on a Mac (seems sacreligious) but i have the option.

I feel very blessed to have this opportunity. It will greatly increase production time for schoolwork and ministry. I can't wait to see what I am inspired to do.
