Just bought a MacBook!

I'm sitting on my patio listening to Jim Rome, smoking a cigar, posting on DU all on my wireless network.
I'm loving it.

2. Welcome to the club

I'm trying to convince my sister to get a Macbook and then we can have a video conference between me, her and my dad (he is in Nigeria). My Powerbook has been the best experience I have ever had with a computer. I have yet to have one of those screaming fits where I ask why it can't just do what I want it to. So far the Mac does.

3. You can smoke a cigar on your wireless network? Macs are THAT good, eh?

6. Well, if you don't get bit by a virus-carrying mosquito, you are careful

not to smoke too much, you stay free of poaching by your neighbors on
your wireless, and you don't get stressed from reading the flame wars on DU,
I would say it's a good night! :D
