Ok, so it is official I have jumped on the ‘gotta have a mac bandwagon’.  The week prior to father’s day my lovely wife decided that I could get a new MacBook Pro (well, Dimecasts was going to pay 75% of the cost and she would pay the other 25%).  I decided that I was not going to make this new machine my primary box, so I went small and picked up the 13.3 model.

So, why did I get one?  Because I could silly :).  No, mostly to learn and play. I want to learn how to code in a different environment and with different languages.  On my list is Ruby (of course), Objective-C and maybe some playing with Java.  I do plan on building a iPhone app for Dimecasts (just need to find the time now).

With about 2 weeks of using/playing under my belt and I have to admit the transition has been pretty easy.  About the only real annoyance is the fact that they keyboard is a bit different than a PC, but over time.

Anyway, thought I would share with the world that I got a new toy.  BTW, Windows 7 runs SUPER fast under VM on this box.

Till next time,
